Request data in javascript code from server, c++
Added by Sander Denorme almost 4 years ago
Hi,
I am trying to request data in my javascript code from the server side, c.
I know you can send a signal from the client side with JSignal to the server side, but can you add a response to this event?
Or what is the best way to send data from the server side to the client side?
Thank you

You can add arguments to the signal. You could for example use a JSignal<std::string> and send JSON as a string. That's the simplest way, I think.
Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're looking for?

Hi,
With adding arguments to the signal, you can send data from the client to the server. But is there a way to send data from the server to the client side?
For example:
Ajax Get call from the client to a wt endpoint and respond to such a call. Is this possible in wt?

Oh ok. You may be looking for WResource if you want to handle arbitrary requests, or for "server push": the ability for the server to send updates to the client without a corresponding event from the client.
From your first post, it seemed that you just wanted to respond to a JSignal, which is just simply done by connecting a slot and updating your widgets.
