Jquery Ajax, return success/error from mvc.net controller
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
data: formData,
url: "/Forms/GetJobData",
dataType: 'json',
contentType: false,
processData: false,
success: function (response) {
if (response.success) {
alert(response.responseText);
} else {
// DoSomethingElse()
alert(response.responseText);
}
},
error: function (response) {
alert("error!"); //
}
});
Controller:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult GetJobData(Jobs jobData)
{
var mimeType = jobData.File.ContentType;
var isFileSupported = IsFileSupported(mimeType);
if (!isFileSupported){
// Send "false"
return Json(new { success = false, responseText = "The attached file is not supported." }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
else
{
// Send "Success"
return Json(new { success = true, responseText= "Your message successfuly sent!"}, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
}
---Supplement:---
basically you can send multiple parameters this way:
Controller:
return Json(new {
success = true,
Name = model.Name,
Phone = model.Phone,
Email = model.Email
},
JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
Html:
<script>
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: '@Url.Action("GetData")',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
success: function (response) {
if(response.success){
console.log(response.Name);
console.log(response.Phone);
console.log(response.Email);
}
},
error: function (response) {
alert("error!");
}
});
Use Json
class instead of Content
as shown following:
// When I want to return an error:
if (!isFileSupported)
{
Response.StatusCode = (int) HttpStatusCode.BadRequest;
return Json("The attached file is not supported", MediaTypeNames.Text.Plain);
}
else
{
// When I want to return sucess:
Response.StatusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.OK;
return Json("Message sent!", MediaTypeNames.Text.Plain);
}
Also set contentType:
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
