Question

I’ve got a button for which I dynamically create target URI with jquery. Controller action will do some update on database and I want it to display view that call it in the first place. This view can differ. How do you deal with such a scenario?

The idea is that you click on label, provide translation for it, click save and you can see you translation on your current page. I made it work with single page just fine but scaling it up is a problem.

I know I can pass around current page URI and then parse it ‘by hand’ and put it in RedirectToAction but is there cleaner way?

Answer 1

I’d use a PUT and just update the label on the current page on Success.

Don’t wrap the ajax call in a while loop. the success function is only called if the server returns a success (without checking the documentation I assume it is fired on some http 200 status or other)

If you just want to reload on success I guess the below would do it.

$.ajax({
  type: 'PUT',
  url: /my/url/for/adding/a/translation,
  data: theTranslation,
  success: function() {window.location.reload(true);}
});
