I want to get few indexes every time, pressing Next and Previous Button
So here is the view:
class RetrieveCrudUser(View):
def get(self, request):
fromIndex = int(request.GET.get('fromIndex', None))
toIndex = int(request.GET.get('toIndex', None))
print("from index: "+str(fromIndex))
print("to index: "+str(toIndex))
if fromIndex > CrudUser.objects.all().count()-1:
print("entered in the if")
fromIndex = 0
toIndex = 2
elif toIndex > CrudUser.objects.all().count()-1:
print("entered in the elif")
toIndex = CrudUser.objects.all().count()-1
users = serializers.serialize("json",CrudUser.objects.all().order_by('id')[fromIndex:toIndex])
print(type(users))
data = {
'users': users,
'fromIndex': fromIndex,
'toIndex': toIndex
}
return JsonResponse(data)
And here, the javascript:
function showNext(){
fromIndex+=3
toIndex+=3
$.ajax({
url: "{% url 'crud_ajax_retrieve' %}",
data: {
'fromIndex' : fromIndex,
'toIndex' : toIndex,
dataType: 'json',
},
success: function (data) {
fromIndex = data.fromIndex
toIndex = data.toIndex
let temp = JSON.parse(data.users)
console.log(temp)
// TODO: clear table html #tbody
// TODO: for each user append to the table
}
})
}
And this is what it prints (the temp variable) -> And it says the datatype is Object (I don't understand why it is not an array) I want to get an array of those "fields" keys as user objects.
