I use jspdf to generate pdf for downloading by end users. I wish to
add a function to let them send an email to themselves through the
server.
Reading a little bit, I've seen a method to send the pdf to the server
as a base encoded string, and then have the server decode it, before
emailing the object. It seems to be bad practise and a convoluted way,
to me.
Anyway, the javascript is doing this:
var pdf = doc.output();
cliniclabel = $("#TopPatientBar").data("cliniclabel")
patient_id = $('body').find("#PatientIP").html();
$.ajax({
method: "POST",
url:
`/clinic/${cliniclabel}/prescription/sendemail/patient/${patient_id}`,
data: {data: pdf},
}).done(function(data){
console.log(data);
});
And as a preliminary step, I'm trying to read the POST data:
def SendPrescriptionbyMail(request, cliniclabel, patient_id):
patient_id = int(patient_id)
if request.method == 'POST':
print("POST data", request.POST)
cus = customer.objects.get(cstid = patient_id)
recipient=cus.email
But I got this:
[14/Nov/2018 14:39:27] "GET
/appointments/static/appointments/js/popper.min.js.map HTTP/1.1" 404
1749

[14/Nov/2018 14:39:36] "POST
/clinic/madhav/prescription/sendemail/patient/18 HTTP/1.1" 400 17930
But rather than create an XY problem, can anyone tell me whether I'm
approaching this in the right way? Isnt base encoding a pdf object
from javascript for sending to django the wrong way to do this?
What would be the right way? Just point me along what I need to be looking at.
Sincerely yours,
Joel G Mathew
