I recode a Tutorial on Youtube. Django, Python, HTML an Javascript. Everthing works fine exept the window.location.reload() function.
I try some workarounds with
windows.reload(true),
window.href = window.href
location = self.location
and some more.
I have a hunch that the reload is executed before or during the code before the reload. But I do not know.
The goal is to send the data from the input to the database and only then refresh the page.
This ist the Code from the tutorial:
index.html (shortened)
<body>
<header>
<h1>Shoppinglist</h1>
<div id="input-field">
<label for="item-input">Was möchtest du einkaufen?</label>
<input type="text" name="item" id="item-input">
</div>
<button id="btn" onclick="addItem()">+</button>
</header>
<div id="item-table">
{% for row in all_items %}
<div class="list-item">
<input type="checkbox"> {{row.name}}
</div>
{% endfor %}
</div>
<script>
function addItem(){
let itemName = document.getElementById("item-input").value;
let formData = new FormData();
let token = '{{csrf_token}}';
formData.append('itemName', itemName);
formData.append('csrfmiddlewaretoken', token);
fetch('/mylist/', {
method: 'POST',
body: formData
});
window.location.reload();
};
</script>
</body>
</html>
views.py
from django.shortcuts import render
from .models import ShoppingItem
# Create your views here.
def mylist(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
print('Received date: ', request.POST['itemName'])
ShoppingItem.objects.create(name = request.POST['itemName'])
all_items = ShoppingItem.objects.filter(done = 0)
return render(request, 'index.html', {'all_items':all_items})
models.py
from django.db import models
from datetime import date
#Create your models here.
class ShoppingItem(models.Model):
creatDate = models.DateField (default=date.today)
name = models.CharField (max_length =200)
done = models.BooleanField(default=False)
def __str__(self):
return '(' + str(self.id) +') ' +self.name
Try this:
