Call Django On Html Button Click

I'm trying to make a basic sort function for a Django project, but I don't know how to call the sort function when I click the 'sort' button Django view: def sort_btn(request): if

Solution 1:

you need to wrap your <button> with <form> tag, as following snippet:

<form action='actionUrl' method='GET'>
<button type='submit'> sort me</button>
</form>

and in your urls.py module you should point the actionUrl with specific view from the views.py module as follow:

from django.urlsimport path

from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path(actionUrl, views.yourSort),
]

you should more read about request lifecycle on Django:

1. user submit request
2. Django tries to get the first match between request's URL and routes defined in urls.py
3. the request is passed to the matched view
4. the view get executed, usually this some model processing
5. a response (template) is returned by the view as HttpResponse

Solution 2:

I don't know about your program but my implementation is the full as it is that worked.

<button name="button"type="submit" onclick="location.href='{% url "actionUrl" %}'"> Send</button>

I am trying to call a function in views named "sendEmail"

path('actionUrl/', views.sendEmail,name='actionUrl')

And above one is the line which I included in urls file.

As I am new to Django, Please check if I am wrong.

Keep Coding!!
