I have an ajax get request that has a data of an input. I want to pass this data into a variable and use it in my query.
index.handlebars
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<input type="hidden" class="test" name="test" value="sample"/>
<script type="text/javascript">
$( document ).ready(function() {
var username = $('.test').val();
$.ajax({
type : 'GET',
url: '/users//welcome',
data : {
wew: username
}
});
alert(username); //correct output
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
and in my users/welcome
router.get('/welcome', ensureAuthenticated, function(req, res){
var test = req.query.wew; //data from ajax request
Item.find({username: test},function(err, docs, test){ //where username is the data
console.log(test);
res.render('welcome', {docs:docs});
});
});
This code is not working. please help :/
