在 AJAX POST 之后渲染 Django 模板

Question

I'm using django and ajax to build a small app.

I send some data by ajax:

// send search post when clicking the button
$("#search-button").click(function(){
    $.post(
        "{% url 'search-index' %}",
        {
            query: $("#query").val()
        },
        function(data, status){
            console.log("success")
        }
    )
})

And I generate some new data according to the query , which I'd like to display in the html template:

def view(request):
    if request.method == "POST":
        query = request.POST["query"]
        hits = search(query)

        return render(request, "search/index.html", {"hits": hits})

{% if hits %}
    <div class="container">
    {% for hit in hits %}
        <div>
            <a href="">{{ hit.title }}</a>
        </div>
        <div>
            <p>{{ hit.abstract }}</p>
        </div>
    {% endfor %}
    </div>
{% endif %}

However, I find django is not rendering the template, I got an empty html page after this post request. I don't want to append the data using jquery. I prefer to modify the html in the template.

Any solution? Thanks in advance.

I found it is actually impossible . The django template is rendered from the serve side, while the ajax is parsed from the client side and is asynchronous.
