CakePHP 2.1 Ajax validation errors

问题

I'm trying to get validation errors with Ajax and jQuery working in CakePHP 2.1 for a contact form. On blur of the name field a js function is called:

$(document).ready(function(){

$('#name').blur(function(){
    $.post(
        '/Cake_ajax/Contacts/validate_form',
        { field: $(this).attr('id'), value: $(this).val() },
        handleNameValidation
    );
});

function handleNameValidation(error){
    if(error.length > 0){
        if($('#name-notEmpty').length == 0){
            $('#name').after($('<div id="name-notEmpty" class="error-message">' + error + '</div>'));
        }
    }else{
        $('#name-notEmpty').remove();
    }
}
});

The javascript calls the validate_form function in my controller:

public function validate_form(){
        if($this->RequestHandler->isAjax()){
            $this->request->data['Contact'][$this->request->params['form']['field']] = $this->request->params['form']['value'];
            $this->Contact->set($this->request->data);
            if($this->Contact->validates()){
                $this->autorender = FALSE; // don't render a view
            }else{
                $error = $this->validateErrors($this->Contact);
                $this->set('error', $error[$this->request->params['form']['field']]);
            }
        }
    }

In my view I'm getting a couple of errors when the error is called:

Undefined index: form [APP\Controller\ContactsController.php
Undefined index: form [APP\Controller\ContactsController.php

I'm at my wits end, and I'm fairly new to CakePHP. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In your controller you should have something like below. Cake 2.0 replaces many features in RequestHandlerComponent and Controller. It also replaces $this->params array in all places and the old $this->data to $this->request->data, something like that. You can visit the migration guide.

    public function validate_form(){
        if($this->RequestHandler->isAjax()){
           $this->request->data['Contact'][$this->request['form']['field']] = $this->request['form']['value'];
           $this->Contact->set($this->request->data);
           if($this->Contact->validates()){
              $this->autorender = FALSE; // don't render a view
           }else{
             $error = $this->validateErrors($this->Contact);
             // didn't validate logic
             $this->set('error',$this->Contact->validationErrors[$this->request['data']['field']][0]);
          }
       }
    }

回答2:

Try $this->request->params['field'] instead of $this->request->params['form']['field'].

Or right after you check to isAjax(), try doing a var_dump on $this->request->params. From the error you are getting, the form index does not exist in $this->request->params.

回答3:

If you want to simulate a POST like done when using a standard form and the Cake FormHelper, you could also simply name the posted parameters the same way the FormHelper names the input fields.

$j.post(
    '/Cake_ajax/Contacts/validate_form',
    { "data[Contact][" + $(this).attr('id') + "]": $(this).val() },
    handleNameValidation
);

This would automatically populate $this->request->data['Contact']['name'] and you could just comment this line:

//$this->request->data['Contact'][$this->request->params['form']['field']] = $this->request->params['form']['value'];
