Passing A JavaScript Variable In An HTML File To A Django View Function

Using Django Templates & Frontend

Yes Mr. Whtesell. I was able to resolve the issue with the csrf middleware token by reading what you sent.

I wanted to ask how I could grab the value of facialImage result inside the Django view which as you know, is written in Python.

The name of the JSON object being sent is facialImage correct?

$.ajax({
            url : URL,
            type: "POST",
            data: JSON.stringify({
                    // csrfmiddlewaretoken: document.getElementsByName('csrfmiddlewaretoken')[0].value,

                /*Use stringify() method to convert 'facialImage' into a string,
                  so that it can be sent to the server.*/
                // facialImage: JSON.stringify(facialImage),
                    facialImage,
                }),

            processData: false,
            dataType : "json",
            headers: {'X-CSRFToken': csrftoken},
            mode: 'same-origin',
            /*https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8614947/jquery-and-django-csrf-token*/
            /*"success" is what happens when the server responds successfully
              'response' is the response from the Django view (a json object).*/
            success: function(response){
                // $(".sendButton").
            }
        });

How can I grab facialImage in the FacialLoginResult view?

def FacialLoginResult(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        print("Printing request.body")

        # print(request.body)

        # All of the data in a POST request will be stored inside
        # the 'POST' dictionary.

        body_unicode = request.body.decode('utf-8')

        json_data = json.loads(body_unicode)

        # facialImage = json_data['data']

        # type_tiny = pyshorteners.Shortener()
        # short_url = type_tiny.tinyurl.short(json_data)

        print(short_url)
