I am encountering a JSONDecodeError when attempting to send a POST request from AJAX to Django's views.py. The POST request sends an array of JSON data which will be used to create a model. I would greatly appreciate any helpful hints.
Error:
Exception Type: JSONDecodeError at /order-confirmation
Exception Value: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
Request information:
USER: ledi12
GET: No GET data
POST: No POST data
FILES: No FILES data
AJAX Request:
var new_array = JSON.stringify(array)
$.ajax({
url: 'http://localhost:8000/order-confirmation',
type: 'POST',
data: '{"array":"' + new_array+'"}',
processData: false,
contentType: "application/json",
dataType: "json",
headers: {"X-CSRFToken":'{{ csrf_token }}'},
success: function (result) {
console.log(result.d);
},
error: function (result) {
console.log(result);
}
});
Views:
@csrf_exempt
def order_confirmation(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
data = json.loads(r"request.body").read()
print(data)
return HttpResponse(status=200)
else:
return render(request, 'main_templates/order_confirmation.html')
