Play 2.x: How to make an AJAX request with a common button

For this job you should go with javascriptRoutes as it generates correct JS paths based on your routes.conf. You'll find usage sample in Zentask sample

Anyway, for now you can fix your AJAX call by changing the url to

url : '@routes.Application.saveDefaultPhoneForUser()',

This way requires it to place the whole JS in template, which is wrong. It can or even should be moved to separate JS file and to make it possible you need to use javascriptRoutes.

More...

javascriptRoutes are not described yet in official documentation, but here's step-by-step introduction to it. Although the description looks sophisticated de facto using this way brings a lot of benefits.

1. Create the common routes

First you need to create common routes in conf/routes file:

GET     /item/:id     controllers.Application.getItem(id: Long)
POST    /item/new     controllers.Application.newItem
PUT     /item/:id     controllers.Application.updateItem(id: Long)

Of course, you need to create at least these three actions in Application controller:

getItem(Long id){ ... }
newItem() { ... }
updateItem(Long id) { ... }

2. Create an action translating common routes to JS

place it somewhere, ie. in your Application controller
Let's call it javascriptRoutes()

In that action you'll point the existing routes from the conf/routes file

public static Result javascriptRoutes() {
    response().setContentType("text/javascript");
    return ok(
        Routes.javascriptRouter("myJsRoutes",
            routes.javascript.Application.getItem(),
            routes.javascript.Application.newItem(),
            routes.javascript.Application.updateItem(),
            //inside somepackage
            controllers.somepackage.routes.javascript.Application.updateItem()
        )
    );
}

Note: Don't set any params in brackets.

3. Create a route for `javascriptRoutes` action and include it in your template

Route conf/routes

GET     /javascriptRoutes     controllers.Application.javascriptRoutes

View in <head> part of /views/main.scala.html

<script type="text/javascript" src='@routes.Application.javascriptRoutes()'></script>

4. Use javascriptRoutes where you want

Up from now you can use routes in JS to get the correct path without need to specify the url and type. For an example instead of:

 $('.getAjaxForThisContainer').click(function(e) {
    var idToGet = $("#someField").val();
    $.ajax({
        type : 'GET',
        url : '@routes.Application.getItem()',
        data : {
            id: idToGet
        },
        success : function(data) {
            // ... some code on success
        }
    });
    return false;
});

you can use simplified version (myJsRoutes from point 2):

myJsRoutes.controllers.Application.getItem(idToGet).ajax({
    success : function(data) { ... some code ... }
});

myJsRoutes.controllers.Application.newItem().ajax({
    success : function(data) { ... some code ... }
});

etc...

you don't need to specify type: "POST" - JS router will use correct method according to conf/routes rule
you can set id of the record (or other params) to GET or PUT (or other methods) using routes-like syntax in pure JS
If your route rule contains all required params you can really minimize yours JS:

for route:

GET   /some/:a/:b/:c    controllers.Application.getABC(a: String, b: Integer, c: String)

JS:

myJsRoutes.controllers.Application.getABC("a", 1, "b" ).ajax({});

Play: Performing ajax calls.....?

if you want include the js the you have to

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="@routes.SomeCtrl.ajaxForm()"></script>

according to your code your js will act as a page, and the content written on your js will shown on web as it is written.

for ajax refrence you can check http://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.2.x/ScalaJavascriptRouting

How can I send an Ajax Request on button click from a form with 2 buttons?

Given that the only logical difference between the handlers is the value of the button clicked, you can use the this keyword to refer to the element which raised the event and get the val() from that. Try this:

$("button").click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "/pages/test/",
        data: { 
            id: $(this).val(), // < note use of 'this' here
            access_token: $("#access_token").val() 
        },
        success: function(result) {
            alert('ok');
        },
        error: function(result) {
            alert('error');
        }
    });
});

How to trigger a iron-ajax request on a paper-button click?

You need to wrap your polymer elements in a tag that will register as polymer element. You can use dom-bind in your case.

<template id="t" is="dom-bind">           
    <textarea value="{{dataToPost::input}}"></textarea>
    <paper-button on-tap="postData">Post Data</paper-button>
    <iron-ajax 
    id="dataAjax" 
    method="post"
    url="data/url"
    on-response="postComplete"></iron-ajax>
</template>

In the script you need to call generateReqeust on iron-ajax element.

(function (document) {
'use strict';
document.addEventListener('WebComponentsReady', function() {

    // We have to bind the template with the model
    var t = document.querySelector('#t');
    var ajaxRequest = t.$.dataAjax;

    // make the iron-ajax call
    t.postData = function() {
      ajaxRequest.body = {
        'text': t.dataToPost;
      } 
      ajaxRequest.generateRequest();
    }

    //callback on request complete
    t.postComplete = function(){
      alert('whoa! request complete');
    }
});
})(document);

Multi AJAX Request in Laravel

This should work:

<script type="text/javascript">
$.ajaxSetup({
    headers: {
        'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
    }
});

$("form").on('submit', function(e) {

    $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: "{{ route('ajaxRequest.post') }}",
        data: { post_id, reaction },
        success: function(data) {
            alert(data);
        }
    });
});

public function ajaxRequestPost(Request $request)
{
    $data = $request->all();
    return response()->json($data);
}

Play framework write Action with Ok(...) that doesn't load new page

In order to accomplish this task, i had to use play's javascriptRouting

This question's answer helped a lot.

I'm not experienced with jquery so writing that correctly was difficult. For those that find this, here is my final jquery that worked:

 $(document).ready(function(){
        $("div#results").on("click", ".hideme", function(event) {
         var $form = $(this).closest("form");
               var id = $form.find("input[name='id']").val();
               var name = $form.find("input[name='name']").val();
               var email = $form.find("input[name='email']").val();
               var emailsecondary = $form.find("input[name='emailsecondary']").val();
               var url = $form.find("input[name='url']").val();

            $.ajax(jsRoutes.controllers.Application.createLinkedin(id, name, email, emailsecondary, url))
            .done(function(data) {
                console.log(data);
                $form.closest('li.item').slideUp()
            })
            .fail(function(data) {
                console.log(data);
            });

            });

        });

Note that my submit button was class="hideme", the div that gets filled with results from the DB was div#results and the forms were contained within li's that were class="item". So what this jquery is doing is attaching a listener to the static div that is always there:

<div id="results">

It waits for an element with class="hideme" to get clicked. When it gets clicked it grabs the data from the closest form element then sends that data to my controller via ajax. If the send is successful, it takes that form, looks for the closest li and does a .slideUp()

Hope this helps

Play 2: get reply from server to AJAX

first you need to send Json response back to browser have a look at official docs,
second you have to handle response in javascript like this

jsRoutes.controllers.Items.delete(id).ajax({
  success: function(datafromserver) {
   // if success put your logic here        
 },
 error:function(xhr, status, error) {
    // handle exception
 }
});

Jquery and play framework 2 javascript router issue

You could add the id as an attribute on the delete link:

<a href="#" data-id="@item.id">delete</a>

And then read that with jquery in your js, something like:

$('delete').click( function() {
    var id = $(this).attr("data-id");
    jsRoutes.controllers.Application.Items.delete(id).ajax({
    ...
