Django Ajax form not being saved

Question

I want to use Ajax in Django to handle the view of my checkout form after it has been submitted. After the form is submitted, I want it to go to :

return HttpResp

Answer 1

I would personally split these up in two views, because they do different stuff.

But, if you want to keep it that way, you can do the following:

First of all, because you are making an AJAX Request, you should return a JsonResponse object.

In your view you can render the checkout.html and pass it as a context variable to your json response:

def add_user_address(request):
   ...

   data = dict()
   context = {
       'address_form': form,
       ...
   }

   data['html_form'] = render_to_string("checkout.html",
                                        context,
                                        request=request)
   return JsonResponse(data)

And in your $.ajax success function you can do the following

success: function(data) {
  // console.log(data);
  $("div-to-replace-html").html(data.html_form);

}
