Editor ajax override

mark4284

So, I was wondering if there's a way for me to override the data format being passed from client to server?
At the moment I'm using django as the back-end and currently the format is:

<QueryDict: {u'action': [u'edit'], u'data[12][name]': [u'Bartell, Anderson and Macejkovicasdf']}>

I'm assuming datatables is auto assigning a key of data with an array where each item has a key of id and value of the values itself. I want it to be key of 'data' with an array of dictionaries

This is bad b/c in order for me to iterate through, I'd need to string parse instead of using built ins like so:

#params:
#fetches data[12] of param name
request.PUT.getlist('data[12][name]')

I want it such that the format is in this way:

  {
    'action' : 'edit',
    'data' : [
      {
          'id' : ___,
          'name' : ___,
      },
      {
        ...
      },
      ...
    ] 

This way, I can access the data as such:
```
request.PUT.getlist('data[]') and this will output me an array of dictionaries

I realized there was an event: 'preSubmit',
How do I close this discussion?

You are correct - in Editor preSubmit is the way to do it.

"Discussions" (as opposed to "Questions") can't be closed. But anyone reading this will realised it has been resolved!
