How can I send a file created by javascript, to server and then handle it by django, for emailing?












0















My javascript code:



function PrepareEmailPrescription() {
doc = PreparePrescriptionPDF()
var pdf = doc.output();
var fd = new FormData();
fd.append( 'file', pdf );
$.ajax({
url: `/clinic/${cliniclabel}/prescription/sendemail/patient/${patient_id}`,
data: fd,
processData: false,
contentType: false,
type: 'POST',
success: function(data){
alert(data);
}
});
}


Here, PreparePrescriptionPDF is a function which generated a pdf file with pdfjs.



On the django server, I have:



def SendPrescriptionbyMail(request, cliniclabel, patient_id):
# print(request.body)
print(request.FILES)
print(request.FILES['file'])
return HttpResponse('Successfully sent email')


I am getting the following response from django:



[14/Nov/2018 15:59:18] "GET /clinic/medicines HTTP/1.1" 200 8389
<MultiValueDict: {}>

However if my javascript code becomes:

var pdf = new Blob(['abc123'], {type: 'text/plain'});
var fd = new FormData();
fd.append( 'file', pdf );
$.ajax({

data: fd,
processData: false,
contentType: false,
type: 'POST',
success: function(data){
alert(data);
}
});
}


I get:

if response.status_code == 404:

What's the proper way to do this? How can I send a on-the-fly-created pdf file to my django server for emailing as an attachment?

  • What is the type of doc.output() ? Console logging this would be useful information.

  • you get an error in django code either way. Are you sure you do not miss something else?
