[Django]-Django – How to save javascript variable into Django Database?

5👍

JavaScript:

   var counter = 0;

  $( document ).ready(function() {
     function onchange (evt) {
       counter++;
       $.ajax({
         url: '/update_counter/',
         data: {'counter': counter},
         type: 'POST'
       }).done(function(response){
         console.log(response);
       });
     }

     window.onblur = onchange;

   }); 

views.py:

from django.http import HttpResponse
from models import Player

def update_counter(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        player = Player.objects.get()
        player.blur_quantity =  request.POST['counter']
        player.save()
        message = 'update successful'
    return HttpResponse(message)

urls.py:

from django.conf.urls import url

from views import update_counter

urlpatterns = [
   url(r'^update_counter/', update_counter)
]

Basically, the ajax in call in the JavaScript sends counter to the server via a POST request. urls.py routes the request to your update_counter method, which updates the database with the value of counter. Finally, the update_counter method returns a response, which is handled by the done function in the JavaScript.

Inside the onChange method, you can send a POST request to one of your server’s endpoint, and let the server updates the database from there. Then the server shall respond back as a response to that POST request with the most updated value of blur_quantity, and use this value as your new counter.
