I found a lot of posts here and outside talking about this problem but with POST
request.
THIS IS THE PROBLEM: I have a list in my javascript and I need to send that list to django view as argument.
Javascript
$.ajax({ url: "myMethod", type: "GET", data: {"par1":par1,"par2":par2,"list":list}, cache: false, success: function(d){ // DO SOMETHING } }
Python code (views.py)
def myMethod(request): par1 = request.GET.get('par1') par1 = request.GET.get('par2') list = request.GET.get('list') # DON'T WORK #OR list = request.GET.getlist('list') # DON'T WORK #OR list = request.GET.getlist('list[]') # DON'T WORK result = DO_SOMETHING(par1,par2,list) return result
I tried three ways that I found in other posts but none was working.
Answer
Could you join the list before posting and the split it in your django view?
Javascript
$.ajax({ url: "myMethod", type: "GET", data: {"par1":par1,"par2":par2,"list":list.join("-and-")}, cache: false, success: function(d){ // DO SOMETHING } }
Python code (views.py)
def myMethod(request): par1 = request.GET.get('par1') par1 = request.GET.get('par2') list = request.GET.get('list').split('-and-') result = DO_SOMETHING(par1,par2,list) return result
