AJAX - Django & jQuery

Here's a shitty example of using AJAX in Django. Serialize your form before you pass it through the data variable.

<script type="text/javascript">
$('#form-delete').on("submit", function(e) {
  e.preventDefault()
  // Use AJAX to delete the comment.
  comment = $(this).attr('data-comment');
  $.ajax({
      type: 'POST',
      url: $(this).attr('action'),
      data: {'csrfmiddlewaretoken': '{{csrf_token}}'},
      success: function(data) {
        // Hide comment that was just deleted
        $(comment).hide();
      },
      error: function(data) {
        console.log('Something went wrong');
      },
  });
  //return false;
})
</script>


def delete_comment(request, pk):
    if request.is_ajax():
        try:
            comment = Comment.objects.get(id=pk)
            comment.delete()
        except:
            pass
        return HttpResponse("Success")
