“'AttributeError: ‘WSGIRequest’ object has no attribute ‘is_ajax’” when trying to use django with google map api when developing a website

I am currently following along with a tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCn8WND-JpU) that utilizes Django, python, and front-end languages to develop a website with Google Maps API.

This is for a project I want to pursue, but when I finished all the code it gave an error of:

‘WSGIRequest’ object has no attribute ‘is_ajax’ when trying to get past the sign-in page.

I reached out to the YouTuber and he gracefully told me I needed to replace the ‘request.is_ajax()’ to request.META. on the views.py. I tried doing that but it is still not working.

Could anyone be able to help me resolve this problem?

Here is the file he told me I needed to change the is_ajax:

github.com

bobby-didcoding/did_django_google_api_tutorial/blob/main/users/views.py

from django.shortcuts import render, redirect, reverse
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth import login, logout, authenticate
from django.conf import settings
from django.http import JsonResponse
from django.views.generic.edit import FormView
from django.views.generic.base import TemplateView
from django.utils.decorators import method_decorator


from did_django_google_api_tutorial.mixins import(
	AjaxFormMixin, 
	reCAPTCHAValidation,
	FormErrors,
	RedirectParams,
	)


from .forms import (

If anyone needs more information, please let me know! I 100% followed along the tutorial from start to finish.

Hi, is_ajax is deprecated since django 3.1

See the release notes here Django 3.1 release notes | Django documentation | Django for alternative methods.

Hello, it seems like I could use “request.headers.get(‘x-requested-with’) == ‘XMLHttpRequest’” instead. Where would I need to place that in my code?

At the exact place where you would have use request.is_ajax(), replace by request.headers.get("x-requested-with") == "XMLHttpRequest"
