Question

I’m looking for a solution to call a controller method/action inside an external js-file, not inside html-file!

so I have a test.js file, which has a ajax call and I want to let play create the url like:

$.ajax({
    type: 'post',
    url: "#{@Application.sendMail();/}", //i know it's not the right syntax but something like this
    .......
});

so I don’t know how this works. thanks for your suggestions!

cheers,

Marco

Answer 1

js files are static files so it is not a good practice to put variables inside because you then loose browser and server caching.

In such a situation it is better to create a function in your js and call it from your html with the url as an argument
