I'm currently struggling with an ajax that posts a json to a nodejs route. I want to get the selected values of 4 button-groups. The button-groups have the following ids: quality, costeffectiveness, deliveryscope and rating. Each button-group contains 5 radio-buttons with a value with an own id, such as quality1 or quality2. The values of these buttons range from 1 to 5.
My guess is that I'm missing out things mentioned here: How do I return the response from an asynchronous call?
$(document).ready(function () {
// SUBMIT FORM
$("#ratingForm").submit(function (event) {
// Prevent the form from submitting via the browser.
event.preventDefault();
ajaxPost();
});
function ajaxPost() {
// PREPARE FORM DATA
let ratingData = {
quality: $('input[name=options]:checked', '#quality').val(),
costeffectiveness: $('input[name=options]:checked', '#costeffectiveness').val(),
deliveryscope: $('input[name=options]:checked', '#deliveryscope').val(),
contentment: $('input[name=options]:checked', '#contentment').val()
};
// DO POST
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json",
url: "/rating",
data: JSON.stringify(ratingData),
dataType: 'json',
success: function (rating) {
$("#ratingResultDiv").html("<p>" +
"Post Successfully! <br>" +
"--->" + JSON.stringify(rating) + "</p>");
},
error: function (e) {
alert("Error!");
console.log("ERROR: ", e);
}
});
}
});
When I'm assigning variables in a different kind of way and change the route for the expected json, it works like a charm:
// PREPARE FORM DATA
let formData = {
firstname: $("#firstname").val(),
lastname: $("#lastname").val()
};
Working.
NodeJS Route:
router.post('/rating', function (req, res, next) {
console.log("RATINGS: " + JSON.stringify(req.body));
console.log(req.body.quality);
console.log(req.body.costeffectiveness);
console.log(req.body.deliveryscope);
console.log(req.body.contentment);
let rating = {};
rating.quality= req.body.quality;
rating.costeffectiveness = req.body.costeffectiveness;
rating.deliveryscope = req.body.deliveryscope;
rating.contentment = req.body.contentment;
return res.send(rating);
