I usually have a controller like this:
def update_or_insert_thing():
response.view ='generic.json'
ret = None
if request.vars:
if request.vars.id:
request.vars.id = int(request.vars.id)
ret = db(db.thing.id == request.vars.id).validate_and_update
(**request.vars)
else:
ret = db.thing.validate_and_insert(**request.vars)
if ret and ret.errors:
response.flash = T('Validation Errors')
return {'id': request.vars.id or ret.id, 'errors': ret.
errors}
return {'id': request.vars.id or ret.id, 'errors': []}
return {}
Then all you need is to post to it using your dict as the data. Something
like this
$.ajax(
{
url: "{{=URL('default', 'update_or_insert_thing')}}",
method: 'POST',
data: {"id":3, "firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"}
dataType: 'json'
}
).done(function(data) {... // Here you should deal with validation
errors
