Call Laravel Model Function from Blade Button OnClick Javascript Function and Stay On the Page

Goal:
A user will have a list of games in a table with text boxes for each team's score. I want the user to be able to change the score of a single game, click Save (Model function updates the record), and continue saving more games while never leaving the page.
How:
After a Laravel Blade view has been rendered, I want to execute a Model function from a Javascript function on-button-click, but stay on the same page.
admin.blade.php (Javascript section in Head tag)
/* Save game from inline list on Admin page */
function inlineSaveAdmin(gameId) {
var homeScoreTxt = document.getElementById("homeScoreTxtBox");
var homeScore = homeScoreTxt.value;
var awayScoreTxt = document.getElementById("awayScoreTxtBox");
var awayScore = awayScoreTxt.value;
{{ App\Models\Game::inlineSave(gameId, homeScore, awayScore) }}
}
admin.blade.php (body of view)
<button type="button" onclick="inlineSaveAdmin({{ $game->id }});" class="btn btn-outline-success">Save</button>
So far, the Model function only executes when the page loads, not when I click the button. That is the main problem I wish to solve. Thanks for any help!
(and yes, I believe that I will need to create identical Javascript functions for each gameId that exists to be able to reference the correct homeScoreTxtBox{{ game->id }} since I don't think I could otherwise dynamically pull the text box IDs based on the Javascript function's input parameter)

1.make an ajax function on that blade file
2.call that ajax on click pass the id and updated data
3.define a route for that ajax function in web.php and
4.make a controller function on that route.
Code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#button").on('click', function() {
**//get id and score**
var homeScoreTxt = document.getElementById("homeScoreTxtBox");
var homeScore = homeScoreTxt.value;
var awayScoreTxt = document.getElementById("awayScoreTxtBox");
var awayScore = awayScoreTxt.value;
var game_id = gameId;
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
},
url: '{{ route('update') }}',
//all the data you need to pass to controller function
data: {
'id': gameId,
'homescore': homeScore,
'awayscore' : awayScore
},
// dataType: 'json',
success: function(data) {
//data returned from php
// update the values
if (data) {
homeScoreTxt.value=data.homeScore,
awayScoreTxt.value=data.homeScore
}
},
fail: function() {
alert('NO');
}
});
});
});
web.php
Route::post('update', 'UpdateController#update')->name('update');
Update the values in the controller function by simple model queries.
Send updated data like this:
$response = [
'homeScore' => $homeScore,
'awayScore' => $awayScore
];
return response()->json($response);

I have followed Daniyal Ishaq's answer, and I think I'm getting closer, but I'm getting an error from the Ajax call.
Error:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)
(jquery-3.5.1.js:10099) xhr.send( options.hasContent && options.data || null );
Per Google debugger, it appears to be after/inside this call:
(jquery-3.5.1.js:9682) transport.send( requestHeaders, done );
I did some debugging, and a "status" variable is getting set to 500. Then, "isSuccess" is set to False when it gets to this line:
(jquery-3.5.1.js:9723) isSuccess = status >= 200 && status < 300 || status === 304;
That line that sets isSuccess is inside the following function, but I cannot seem to find where it's getting called from to trace where status is getting set exactly.
(jquery-3.5.1.js:9696) function done( status, nativeStatusText, responses, headers ) {
The last line I can find before the error appears is 5233:
(jquery-3.5.1.js:5233) jQuery.event.dispatch.apply( elem, arguments ) : undefined;
Shortly before that line, it is here, where event.rnamespace = undefined, and handleObj.namespace = "" (I don't know if this is relevant):
(jquery-3.5.1.js:5422) if ( !event.rnamespace || handleObj.namespace === false ||
Shortly after that, "ret" is still undefined after this line: (again, I don't know what this does, but it seems important?)
ret = ( ( jQuery.event.special[ handleObj.origType ] || {} ).handle ||
handleObj.handler ).apply( matched.elem, args );
Then on 5446, it returns event.result, which is undefined.
return event.result;
That is where my debugging skills hit a dead end with jQuery. So now I ask for more help.
Ajax function in blade:
$(document).ready(function() {
#foreach($games as $game)
$("#SaveBtn{{ $game->id }}").on('click', function() {
var gameId = "{{ $game->id }}";
var saveBtn = document.getElementById("SaveBtn{{ $game->id }}");
var homeScoreTxt = document.getElementById("homeScoreTxtBox{{ $game->id }}");
var homeScore = homeScoreTxt.value;
var awayScoreTxt = document.getElementById("awayScoreTxtBox{{ $game->id }}");
var awayScore = awayScoreTxt.value;
$.ajax({
url: "{{ route('inlineSave') }}",
type: "POST",
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
},
//all the data you need to pass to controller function
data: {
'gameId' : {{ $game-> id }},
'homeScore': homeScore,
'awayScore' : awayScore
},
dataType: "json",
traditional: true,
success: function(data) {
//data returned from php
// update the values
if (data) {
homeScoreTxt.value = data.homeScore;
awayScoreTxt.value = data.awayScore;
saveBtn.innerText = 'Resave';
alert('Success!');
}
},
error: function() {
alert('An error has occurred!');
}
});
});
#endforeach
});
Resulting HTML for Ajax function:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#SaveBtn11870").on('click', function() {
var gameId = "11870";
var saveBtn = document.getElementById("SaveBtn11870");
var homeScoreTxt = document.getElementById("homeScoreTxtBox11870");
var homeScore = homeScoreTxt.value;
var awayScoreTxt = document.getElementById("awayScoreTxtBox11870");
var awayScore = awayScoreTxt.value;
$.ajax({
url: "http://mbcathletics/admin",
type: "POST",
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
},
//all the data you need to pass to controller function
data: {
'gameId' : 11870,
'homeScore': homeScore,
'awayScore' : awayScore
},
dataType: "json",
traditional: true,
success: function(data) {
//data returned from php
// update the values
if (data) {
homeScoreTxt.value = data.homeScore;
awayScoreTxt.value = data.awayScore;
saveBtn.innerText = 'Resave';
alert('Success!');
}
},
error: function() {
alert('An error has occurred!');
}
});
});
... many more of the same function for different button IDs ...
});
Button in blade: (calls its respective function successfully)
<button id="SaveBtn{{ $game->id }}" type="button" class="btn btn-outline-success">Save</button>
Route in web.php: (remember, I do not want to leave the page, I just want it to execute the Controller function... I don't know what to put in the first parameter - the URL)
Route::post('/admin', [App\Http\Controllers\HomeController::class, 'inlineSave'])->name('inlineSave');
Controller function: (it doesn't really do anything right now, I'm just trying to test connectivity before I do the heavy lifting)
public static function inlineSave()
{
$game = Game::find($gameId);
$score = $game->home_score;
$game->home_score = $score;
$response = [
'homeScore' => $homeScore,
'awayScore' => $awayScore
];
return response()->json($response);
}
Thank you! I am sorry for the detail, but it's the only I know how to help.

How to solve error parsing in dataTables?

I have a function button that carry user info fullname, after clicking the button, it will send fullname and level to an API to be process and the result should be display in dataTable. Unfortunately, I got this error.
This is console.log for console.log(params). {"task_level":3,"fullname":"Administrator"}
Below is console.log for console.log(params).
Both console log is similar to API's result.
I don't know which is proper.
JS 1st Try (1st Ajax to send the parameter to API and after return success hopefully working but not.
"<button type='button' class='btn btn-dark btn-round' onclick='viewTablePerson(""+value.fullname+"")'>View Project</button>"+
function viewTablePerson(fullname){
var level = 3;
var fullname2 = fullname;
var obj = {
task_level : level,
fullname : fullname2
};
var params = JSON.stringify(obj);
console.log(params)
$.ajax({
url : url_api + '/api/user_task',
crossDomain: true,
type : 'POST',
dataType : 'json',
data: params,
success: function(response){
if (response.status == "Success"){
console.log(response)
$('#viewProgress').DataTable({
ajax: {
url: url_api + '/api/user_task',
crossDomain : true,
type : "POST",
cache : false,
dataType : "json",
contentType: false,
processData: true,
data : params,
timeout: 10000,
},
destroy: true,
columns: [
{ data : "task_name"},
{ data : "task_owner"},
{ data : "task_status"}
],
});
}
},
error: function(e){}
});
}
JS 2nd Try
<button type='button' class='btn btn-dark btn-round' onclick='viewTablePerson(""+value.fullname+"")'>View Project</button>"+
function viewTablePerson(fullname){
var level = 3;
var fullname2 = fullname;
var obj = {
task_level : level,
fullname : fullname2
};
var params = JSON.stringify(obj);
console.log(params)
$('#viewProgress').DataTable({
ajax: {
url: url_api + '/api/user_task',
crossDomain : true,
type : "POST",
cache : false,
dataType : "json",
contentType: false,
processData: true,
data : params,
timeout: 10000,
},
destroy: true,
columns: [
{ data : "task_name"},
{ data : "task_owner"},
{ data : "task_status"}
],
});
}

Documentation says:
When using the ajax option to load data for DataTables, a general error can be triggered if the server responds with anything other than a valid HTTP 2xx response.
So, you have to check server-side response instead of search for problems on the front-end.
Also, in your case make sure
the plugin sends request to the same domain from which the current page is loaded;
browser security system doesn't prevent loading of external scripts - for example on http://localhost you cannot Ajax load a script from http://google.com without special measures;
you are specifying a relative path without a domain name (if you are using a single domain);
JSON data in response is a valid.
If you cannot alter the backend system to fix the error, but don't want your end users to see the alert message, you can change DataTables' error reporting mechanism to throw a Javascript error to the browser's console, rather than alerting it:
$.fn.dataTable.ext.errMode = 'throw';

Unable to pass formData with other parameters in jQuery

I am trying to pass formData along with other parameters to a PHP script.
Using the $.post method, I was getting an 'Illegal Invocation' error. So I abandoned the $.post method and went to $.ajax method.
As follows:
$('#uploadBtn').on('click', function()
{
var formData = new FormData($('#uploadfile')[0]); // the form data is uploaded file
var booking = $('#bookingNum').val();
var partner = $('#partnerCode').val();
var parameters =
{
formData:formData,
booking:booking,
partner:partner
}
$.ajax({
url: 'process/customer.php',
data: parameters, // <- this may be wrong
async: false,
contentType: false,
processData: false,
cache: false,
type: 'POST',
success: function(data)
{
console.log(data);
},
error: function(jqHHR, textStatus, errorThrown)
{
console.log('fail: ' + errorThrown);
}
});
});
On the PHP side, I'm trying to get the parameters object like so:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['parameters']))
{
echo "Hello";
$value = $_POST['parameters'];
// I can get the other 2 parameters like this
$company = htmlspecialchars(trim($value['booking']));
$partner = htmlspecialchars(trim($value['partner']));
// not sure how to get the uploaded file information
}
?>
Basically, I am uploading a file to be saved to a directory. But the problem is, I cannot send anything over to the PHP side. I am getting this warning:
"jquery.js:2 [Deprecation] Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to the end user's experience. For more help, check https://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/."
I need to be able to send the 'parameters' object over to the PHP script, then access it for processing.
How can I achieve this using the $.ajax method? Then how do I access the formData once on the PHP side?

The parameters is the object you are POSTing. the key value pairs will be based on it's properties. Try accessing them like $_POST['formData'] and $_POST['booking'].
Also... please rework your code to remove the async:false ... TBH this should never have been put into jQuery and is absolutely terrible. Don't feel bad, it's the first thing every newcomer tries when they first start using ajax, myself included. You're going to cause the UI thread to hang for the duration, preventing all user interaction during the call.
EDIT
I didn't realize you are trying to post a file at first, so this is not a complete answer as I don't think you are accessing it correctly. But The important part of this answer is that there is no parameters index of $_POST (which is why not even your echo "hello" is coming back).
if you POST an object that looks like
{
key1 : "value1",
key2 : "value2"
}
they will come through to php as
$_POST['key1'];//"value1";
$_POST['key2'];//"value2";
important to note, files posted to the server are typically found in the $_FILES superglobal. (don't know if AJAX changes that, but I imagine not)
EDIT2
Combining the two... this is the general idea. Make your html + JS look like...
$('#form').on('submit', function()
{
var form_data = new FormData();
form_data.append("file", document.getElementById('fileInput').files[0]);
var booking = $('#bookingNum').val();
var partner = $('#partnerCode').val();
form_data.append("booking ",booking);
form_data.append("partner",partner);
$.ajax({
url: 'process/customer.php',
method:"POST",
data: form_data,
contentType: false,
cache: false,
processData: false,
success: function(data)
{
console.log(data);
},
error: function(jqHHR, textStatus, errorThrown)
{
console.log('fail: ' + errorThrown);
}
});
return false;//prevent default form submission
});
<form id='form'>
<input type='file' id='fileInput' />
<label for='bookingNum'>Booking Num: </label>
<input type='text' id='bookingNum' name='bookingNum' />
<label for='partnerCode'>Partner Code:</label>
<input type='text' id='partnerCode' name='partnerCode' />
<button id='uploadBtn'>Submit</button>
</form>
and try it with your php code like
<?php
if($_POST['bookingNum']){
var_dump($_POST['bookingNum']);
}
if($_POST['partnerCode']){
var_dump($_POST['partnerCode']);
}
if($_FILES['file']){
var_dump($_FILES['file']);
}

$('#uploadBtn').on('click', function()
{
var form_data = new FormData();
form_data.append("file", document.getElementById('ID').files[0]);
var booking = $('#bookingNum').val();
var partner = $('#partnerCode').val();
form_data.append("booking ",booking);
form_data.append("partner",partner);
$.ajax({
url: 'process/customer.php',
method:"POST",
data: form_data,
contentType: false,
cache: false,
processData: false,
success: function(data)
{
console.log(data);
},
error: function(jqHHR, textStatus, errorThrown)
{
console.log('fail: ' + errorThrown);
}
});
});

Sending a variable from JavaScript to Java

I've created a game that collects a User's time on the browser with JavaScript. What I'd like to do is grab that JavaScript data and send it to the backend, which is written in Java (I'm using a local server running on Tomcat). How can I accomplish this?
I've looked into AJAX and here is what I've come up with...
var myTime = // however long it took for user to win game
var data = {}
data["myTime"] = myTime;
$.ajax({
type : "POST",
url : "/path-to/hosting/save",
data : JSON.stringify(data),
dataType : 'json',
timeout : 100000,
contentType:'application/json',
success : function(data) {
console.log("SUCCESS: ", data);
},
error : function(e) {
console.log("ERROR: ", e);
},
done : function(e) {
console.log("DONE");
}
});
When I finish the game, I receive this error on the console:
statusText:"parsererror"
My initial thought was that I didn't form my JSON correctly, but I am not sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

As your code it seems like myTime is a single value why you store it in array you can pass that as follows
var myTime = // however long it took for user to win game
//var data = {}
//data["myTime"] = myTime;
$.ajax({
type : "POST",
url : "/path-to/hosting/save",
data : JSON.stringify({
'myTime': myTime
}),
dataType : 'json',
timeout : 100000,
contentType:'application/json',
success : function(data) {
console.log("SUCCESS: ", data);
},
error : function(e) {
console.log("ERROR: ", e);
},
done : function(e) {
console.log("DONE");
}
});

ajax request not sending any data ASP.NET MVC project with jQuery

I'm fairly new to asp.net MVC but am baffled as to why my request isn't working.
I'm trying to send an ajax request with jquery as per:
jQuery(function ($) {
var total = 0,
share = $('div.share'),
googlePlusUrl = "https://plusone.google.com/_/+1/fastbutton?url=http://bookboon.com" + $(location).attr('pathname');
setTimeout(function() {
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
data: "smelly",
traditional: true,
url: share.data('proxy'),
success: function(junk) {
//var $junk = junk.match(regex);
console.log(junk);
},
error: function (xhr, errorText) {
console.log('Error ' + xhr.responseType);
},
});
}, 4000);
And set a line in my RouteConfig as:
routes.MapRoute(null, "services/{site}/proxy", new { controller = "Recommendations", action = "Proxy" });
The markup has a data-attribute value as:
<div class="share" data-proxy="#Url.Action("Proxy", "Recommendations")">
And my Proxy action method starts with:
public ActionResult Proxy(string junk)
The problem is that the junk parameter is always null. I can see in the debug output that the route seems to correctly redirect to this method when the page loads (as per jQuery's document ready function), but I cannot seem to send any data.
I tried sending simple data ("smelly") but I don't receive that neither.
Any suggestions appreciated!

The model binder will be looking for a parameter in the request called junk, however you're sending only a plain string. Try this:
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
data: { junk: "smelly" }, // <- note the object here
traditional: true,
url: share.data('proxy'),
success: function(junk) {
//var $junk = junk.match(regex);
console.log(junk);
},
error: function (xhr, errorText) {
console.log('Error ' + xhr.responseType);
},
});
