如何使用具有多个键的request.POST.get（）

Question

I don't even know how to phrase this, and I'm sure it's a ridiculously stupid question, but here goes.

On my modal's html page, I'm doing:

var user = $("#signup-form").serialize();
$.post("/signup/",
               { user : user,
                 csrfmiddlewaretoken : '{{ csrf_token }}' }

So now, in views.py, I have no idea how to get the aspects of user (firstname, lastname, etc, in this case).

user = request.POST.get('user')

But there doesn't seem to be a way to pull the other keys out, if that makes any sense.

Thanks.

Answer 1

In your code, it looks like form data is serialized inside the user argument which may not be what you want.

A typical pattern is to include all fields inside the form (including csrfmiddlewaretoken as a hidden field), and send the serialized form as data. Eg

<input type="hidden" name="csrfmiddlewaretoken" value="{{ csrf_token }}"/>

Then in javascript:

var form_data = $("#signup-form").serialize();
$.post("/signup/", form_data);

In the Django view, you can extract then extract form fields from request.POST directly, or construct a Django Form to handle this for you.
