Issue
First of all, I will like to say this is my first question here! (pardon me if this is redundant or duplicated)
I am having some problems with calling JS scripts from Django template:
{% for suggestion in suggestions %}
<img class="catalogue-poster" src="{{ suggestion.poster }}" alt="Portada" onclick="
document.getElementById('{{form.title.auto_id}}').value = '{{suggestion.title}}'
document.getElementById('{{form.year.auto_id}}').value = '{{suggestion.year}}'
document.getElementById('{{form.director.auto_id}}').value = '{{suggestion.director}}'
document.getElementById('{{form.rating.auto_id}}').value = '{{suggestion.rating}}'
document.getElementById('{{form.poster.auto_id}}').value = '{{suggestion.poster}}'
document.getElementById('{{form.trailer.auto_id}}').value = '{{suggestion.trailer}}'
document.getElementById('{{form.synopsis.auto_id}}').value = '{{suggestion.synopsis}}'
document.getElementById('{{form.cast.auto_id}}').value = '{{suggestion.cast}}'
" />
{% endfor %}
So, first of all, how can I declare a function outside. I'm a C developer, sorry for my ignorance.
I've tried to create a script outside, such as
<script>
function foo() {
console.log('Hey');
});
</script>
And invoke it this way:
<img class="catalogue-poster" src="{{ suggestion.poster }}" alt="Portada" onclick="foo()"/>
But this simple thing that works on pure HTML, with django templates does not seem to work...
On the other hand, the real question was, is there a way to access a Django variable passed in render with a js variable?
Such as:
const jsVariable = 'title';
document.getElementById('{{form.jsVariable.auto_id}}').value = '{{suggestion.jsVariable}}'
I have not found any way to accomplish this, maybe there is another great idea!
Solution
I have tried one example. where is send a variable from python script and access its value in JavaScript
1) In views.py
from django.shortcuts import render
def home_view(request):
var_name = 'hello'
return render(request, 'home.html', {'var_name':var_name})
2) In html file(home.html)
<html>
<h1>Home Page</h1>
<input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="fun()">
<script>
function fun(){
console.log('hello world '+ '{{var_name}}' );
}
var temp = '{{var_name}}';
console.log(temp + 20);
</script>
</html>
If i click submit button ( hello world hello ) is printed in console.
I stored value of var_name in temp which can be further used.
