georgerobbo Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 How should I structure XMLHTTPRequests? Should I create a controller called Ajax and post/get all ajax calls through the methods of that controller? What have other people done in the past? What worked best for you?

ignace Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 AJAX is the same as a normal request you make with your browser. The only difference is that your View in this case will have to respond to what is expected: JSON, although it could just be HTML or XML, but JSON saves bandwidth and is probably faster. In other words your Controller should not be named AJAX explicitly, it handles requests and AJAX is no different. Either reserve certain methods to return JSON (or whatever you fancy) or change to an AJAX-specific View during bootstrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
