How to receive JSON from POST requests in CherryPy?
I've been to this page http://goo.gl/t4hI [docs.cherrypy.org], and though it does a good job explaining the API, its parameters, and what it does; I can't seem to figure out how to use them to parse the incoming JSON into an object.
Here's what I have so far:
import cherrypy
import json
from web.models.card import card
from web.models.session import getSession
from web.controllers.error import formatEx, handle_error
class CardRequestHandler(object):
@cherrypy.expose
def update(self, **jsonText):
db = getSession()
result = {"operation" : "update", "result" : "success" }
try:
u = json.loads(jsonText)
c = db.query(card).filter(card.id == u.id)
c.name = u.name
c.content = u.content
rzSession.commit()
except:
result["result"] = { "exception" : formatEx() }
return json.dumps(result)
And, here's my jquery call to make the post
function Update(el){
el = jq(el); // makes sure that this is a jquery object
var pc = el.parent().parent();
pc = ToJSON(pc);
//$.ajaxSetup({ scriptCharset : "utf-8" });
$.post( "http://localhost/wsgi/raspberry/card/update", pc,
function(data){
alert("Hello Update Response: " + data);
},
"json");
}
function ToJSON(h){
h = jq(h);
return {
"id" : h.attr("id"),
"name" : h.get(0).innerText,
"content" : h.find(".Content").get(0).innerText
};
}
