pass View through ajax
  • JeanAlesiJeanAlesi
    I'm am trying to update a div with a particular view using ajax.
    Namely, this is what I'm doing:

    $.ajax({
            url: 'v2test/devices',
            type: 'GET',
            data: { fleet_id: fleetId },
            dataType: 'html',
            success: function(output) {
                var content = document.getElementById('sidebar-content');
                content.innerHTML = output;      // update the inner html
            }
    });



    In my controller, I have the following:

        public function get_devices($fleet_id = null)
        {        
            $query = "SELECT `device_id` FROM `tmfleet_members` WHERE `tmfleet_id` = '$fleet_id'";
            $data['devices'] = DB::query($query)->as_object()->execute();
            $data['tmfleet_id'] = $fleet_id;
            $data['device_arr'] = Format::forge($data['devices'])->to_array();
            
            return View::forge('v2test/fleet/devices', $data); // The view has just <h2> hello </h2>
        }



    However, every time I make the request, the HTML of the current page I'm viewing (not the requested page) is outputed by ajax.

    Can anyone give me a hint as to what how I could do this?

    Is that controller a REST controller? Or a standard controller that adds the rest of the page?
  • JeanAlesiJeanAlesi
    it is a standard controller. 
    I just realized I had a mistake in the url, which I have fixed now.

    However, the question still stands: What is the best way for passing view to the client side so that a "one-page" application can be built?

    Also, granted I want to return multiple things, how can I put the view inside a json string?

    A REST controller doesn't have to return json, it can return HTML as well. It is just the default that is json.

    Check http://fuelphp.com/docs/general/controllers/rest.html#/config on which formats are supported out of the box, and how you configure it.
