I have developed a Python API and am now integrating it with a HTML template I have downloaded. It is a simple one page HTML template with a form to accept a album name and artist name. I am looking to process the form using AJAX. So once the form has been successfully submitted, it is replaced with a message returned by the API.
The (simplified) html snippet is:
<div class="form">
<form role="form" action="form.php" id="signup">
<div class="form-group">
<label>Artist Name</label>
<input type="text" name="artist" id="artist">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>Tracking Number</label>
<input type="text" name="album" class="album">
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn">Submit!</button>
</form>
</div>
Then I have a JS file I import at the beginning of the html file. Below is the JS file.
$(function() {
var form = $('#signup');
var formMessages = $('#form-messages');
$(form).submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var formData = {
'artist' : $('input[name=artist]').val(),
'album' : $('input[name=album]').val(),
};
// process the form
$.ajax({
type : 'POST',
url : 'form.php',
data : formData,
dataType : 'json'
})
.done(function(data) {
var content = $(data).find('#content');
$("#result").empty().append(content);
});
});
I think the issue is with the .done(function(data))
however, the website I found the code on wasn't clear.
form.php returns a JSON string. At the moment when I use the form, it sends the information to the Python API and the Python API returns a JSON message. But I cannot access the JSON message. It is in contains
'code': X, 'message':'returned messaged...'
ideally I would like to do a if/else statement. So
if code = 1:
display: Success
etc but I have no idea where to start with it in PHP/JS.
I was able to get it working eventually after seeing a few other stack overflow answers and another website.
I added one div to the html file under the button before the end of the form to make:
<form>
...
...
<button type="submit" class="btn">Submit!</button>
<div id="thanks" style="display:none;"></div>
</form>
Then, in the JS file I amended .done(function(data)) to be:
.done(function(data) {
if (data.result == '1') {
$('#thanks').show().text("Success!");
$('input[type="text"],text').val('');
} else if (data.result == '2') {
$('#thanks').show().text("Album and Artist already exists");
} else {
$('#thanks').show().text("Uh Oh. Something has gone wrong. Please try again later or contact me for more help");
}
});
