I am currently facing a challenge with an angular app that sends JSON data to a Django backend. The Django application saves the JSON data into a database and later retrieves it to send it back to the angular app. However, I am struggling to get this entire process to function correctly.
Below is the view responsible for passing the JSON data back to the template:
def myview(request, uid):
formrecord = FormData.objects.get(someid=uid)
return render(request, 'myview.html', {'formdata': formrecord.data})
This is how the `formrecord.data` looks before the `render()` method above is called:
(Pdb) formrecord.data
u'{"user":{"firstName":"Bob","lastName":"Henderson"}}'
Here is my template snippet:
<script>
var mydata = {{ formdata }};
mydata = JSON.parse(mydata);
console.log(mydata);
</script>
After rendering, the following output is produced:
var mydata = {"user": {"firstName": "Bob", "lastName": "Henderson"}};
However, when trying to parse `mydata` using `JSON.parse(mydata)`, a syntax error occurs on the JavaScript side. How can I successfully parse the string into a JavaScript object?
