Jquery Ajax call and Pylons request interaction

[ravi]

Hi,

I need help in the following issue.


JavaScript AJAX Call:
*****************************************************************
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: mw.config.apiBase +
"export_csv",
contentType: "application/json;
charset=utf-8",
data: {'obj':'test data'},<This can
be huge json data i want to pass>
dataType: "json",
success: function(response) {
alert(response)
}
});
******************************************************************

Python code snippet:
********************************************************************
# General Imports
import csv, sys, os, tempfile
from pylons import request, response, session, tmpl_context as c
from pylons.controllers.util import abort, redirect
from mapfish.protocol import create_default_filter
from mapfish.decorators import MapFishEncoder, geojsonify, _jsonify

# Local imports
from myworldapp.lib.simple_controller import SimpleController
from myworldapp.model.meta import Session
from myworldapp.lib.myw_authorizer import MywAuthorizer

class ExportCsvController( SimpleController ):

readonly = False # if set to True, only GET is supported

def __init__(self):

SimpleController.__init__( self )

#
# Build an authorizer to authorize transactions.
#
self.authorizer = MywAuthorizer( session, False )

@geojsonify
def index( self):
#
# GET /: return all features.
#
if not self.authorizer.isRequestAuthorized( request ):
abort( 403)
<How to read data sent from the AJAX>
********************************************************************

Now I want read the sent data(data: {'obj':'test data'}) from AJAX in
index method of python code

Please help me in resolving the issue

Thanks in advance

if in jQuery ajax:  

 data: JSON.stringify(your_data)

then in controller:

  request.json_body - your_data deserialized into python

[Jonathan Vanasco]

they'd also be in:

request.params
request.GET (if get)
request.POST (if post)

so you could do:

import simplejson as json
data = json.loads( request.params.get('data') )

Thank you so much appetito and Jonathan Vanasco. I resolved the issue with your suggestions.

Actually i am new to pylon and slowly i am learning it. 

Could you please suggest me the best book to learn the pylon from basics

once again thank you very much guys

i would not learn pylons, and learn pyramid instead.

pylons is stable , but development has ceased except for security
fixes.

pyramid is essentially the new version of pylons ( and the new version
of bfg ).

there are a lot of pyramid turorials.
