Convert Javascript function to python

Question

I have a function which takes values from two classes and maps it into an array. The array then gets pushed into a send email function.

 var p1 = document.getElementsByClassName('emailtest'),
 email = [].map.call(p1, function(email) {
 return email.value;
 }).join(',');
 var p2 = document.getElementsByClassName('reciptest'),
 rname = [].map.call(p2, function(rname) {
 return rname.value;
 }).join(',');
var to = [];
 var p3 = email.split(',');
 var p4 = rname.split(',');
 p3.forEach(function(em, i) {
 var recipient = {
 email: em,
 name: null,
 type: 'to'
 };
 if (p4.length > i)
 recipient = p4[i];
 to.push(recipient);
 });

How would I implement this in python and more specifically django ? I have a rough idea on splitting the strings but am not sure how to convert the last section p3.forEach(function(em, i) and to.push(recipient)

Answer 1

Try this out:

to = []
p3 = email.split(',')
p4 = rname.split(',')
for i,em in enumerate(p3):
 recipient = {'email': em, 'name': None, 'type': to}
 if len(p4) > i:
 recipient = p4[i]
 to.append(recipient)

• vvdect: Hey thanks. In regards to the string split. Would it be best to use request.POST.getlist ?
• Brent Washburne: Only if the POST data has already been split for you. If it comes in as a single comma-delimited string, then no, you have to split it yourself.
• rassa45: GET is probably the easiest
• vvdect: Ok . This is actually a part of a broader issue that Im trying to solve. stackoverflow.com/questions/31329834/… Would really appreciate some advice on this
