[Answered ]-Django: [Object object] returned instead of django view array

Your iterations will never yield 1 name at a time since your $.each is iterating over all of the contacts.

You should move your generateCard function within your contacts iteration and use the obj variable instead of passing the entire array (passing the entire array will either output undefined or [object Object]) into your generateCard function.

$.each(contacts, function(idx, obj) {
    var icon = "fa facogs";
    $("table tr:last").append(generateCard(obj, icon));
});    

Complete but contrived example and assuming a probably faulty json structure.

var contacts = [
  {name: 'henrik'},
  {name: 'sanaz'},
  {name: 'esther'},
];

var generateCard = function (obj, icon) {
  return "<tr><td>"+obj.name+'</td></tr>';
};
$("table").append("<tr></tr>");
$.each(contacts, function(idx, obj) {
    var icon = "fa facogs";
    $("table tr:last").append(generateCard(obj, icon));
});

Update:

Your problem lies in your generateCard function, change contactNameC to contactNameC.name.
