I did the application on the sample from this lesson. Here, using DRF, a list of all added games is displayed on the page. I would really like to learn how to write a simple form of adding a new record to the database (two fields: title and description [as in the example]).
With js, I'm not very familiar with so far, so I do not know which side to get close to solving the problem.
$scope.saveUser = function(event) {
postForm({ id: 0 }, $('#FormName'), $scope, function(data) {
})
}
function postForm(postInfo, form, $scope, callback,) {
var postData = new FormData(form.get(0));
$.each(postInfo, function(key, value) {
postData.append(key, value);
});
$.ajax({
type: form.attr('method'),
url: form.attr('action'),
data: postData,
cache: false,
dataType: 'json',
processData: false,
contentType: false,
headers: {
"X-CSRFToken": app.getStorage("csrftoken")
},
beforeSend: function() {
$('#loading-image').show();
},
complete: function() {
$('#loading-image').hide();
if(typeof saveButtonId !== typeof undefined) {
$('#'+saveButtonId).removeAttr('disabled');
}
},
success: function(data) {
},
error: function(data) {
//
}
});
};
you'd be updating code in your mysite/backend folder to have some incoming route to insert data into django db using some serializer
sorry I don't have more specific details, but just wanted to convey the general idea
Here's some more information on Django serializers: http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/serializers/
another tutorial on adding an additional route to django could help
