Cakephp3: How can I return json data?

Question

I am having a ajax post call to a cakePhp Controller:

$.ajax({
                type: \"POST\",
                url: \'locations/add\',
                data: {
           


        

Answer 1

Though I'm not a CakePHP Guru, in my case i'm using cake > 4 and I need some results by ajax call. For this, from my controller i wrote,

echo json_encode(Dashboard::recentDealers()); die;

and in my JS file i just need to parse the data using

JSON.parse(data)

The ajax call like

 $.get('/recent-dealers', function (data, status) {
   console.log (JSON.parse(data)); });
});
