Data from javascript to python(using post)

Question

I am trying to give data from javascript to python, using post

On my Javascript

$('ABC').on("click", function(){
 $.post( '/user',
 {
 user: 'here'
 }
 )});

And giving this to python

@app.route("/user", methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def user():
 id = user
 return id

Above code should show html with just user.

But page does not move when on click..

Any idea?

• SLaks: What Python server framework are you using? You need to access the POST parameters; see its documentation.
• Pedro Lobito: any errors in console?
• user5734311: The page doesn't move because you're making an AJAX request. If you want the page to move, you need to submit a POST <form>.
• 임지웅: @PedroLobito no errors in console..
• 임지웅: @ChrisG I know how to use post method in <form> want to know how to do it from ajax

Answer 1

You need to provide a callback function in $.post

$('ABC').on("click", function() {
 $.post('/user', {
 user: 'here'
 }, function(response) {
 $("#result").html(response);
 });
});

You can also abbreviate this to the .load() method:

$('ABC').on("click", function() {
 $("#result").load('/user', {
 user: 'here'
 });
});
