I have developed a webpage that is capable of loading specific JavaScript packages.
www.mySite.com
By entering JavaScript commands into the browser console, I can easily interact with them.
Let's consider the following simple example:
alert('5')
Now, I aim to have these JavaScript calls executed through a designated URL like:
www.mySite.com/?value=5
This way, the JavaScript commands should be triggered without the need for the browser console and without refreshing the page, maintaining its current state.
To achieve this functionality, my initial approach involves capturing the extended URL in my Django View and executing the JavaScript command.
Django View Example:
class ShowPage(View):
def get(self, request, caseId):
value = request.GET.get('value', '')
if(value != ''):
// execute JavaScript logic here...
return HttpResponse("<script>alert(" + value + ")</script>")
else:
...
return render(request, 'template.html', context)
However, implementing this approach results in losing the original content of the page where the URL was entered.
Does anyone have insights on how to preserve the existing browser content while still enabling the execution of loaded JavaScript packages?
One potential solution could involve invoking JavaScript via Ajax. Yet, how can I map a URL in Django to an Ajax request effectively?
