Django: How To Like An Object With Ajax

Here's my View, class ObjLike(RedirectView): def get_redirect_url(self, *args, **kwargs): id = self.kwargs.get('id') obj = get_object_or_404(Data, id=id) user = self.re

Solution 1:

to like an object with ajax calls do this first in html we want to make a like button:

<button id="like">Like!</button>

the add a script that contain the ajax:

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#like").click(function(event){
        $.ajax({
             type:"POST",
             url:"{% url 'like' Obj.id %}",
             success: function(data){
                 confirm("liked")

             }
        });
        returnfalse;
   });

});
</script>

the we add the like url to the urlpatterns list:

url(r'like/obj/(?P<pk>[0-9]+)/', views.like, name="like"),

adding the view :

from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exempt
@csrf_exemptdeflike(request, pk)
    obj = Obj.objects.get(id=pk)
    obj.likes += 1
    obj.save()
    return HttpResponse("liked")

Note: you can customize the like view to check if user liked already
