RequestAJAXMiddleware

Adds whether the request is AJAX as a boolean property to the request object. Useful to check when rendering a view’s HTML via AJAX, i.e. using the form tag or HTMX.

Note

Make sure to install dj_angles middleware to access this functionality.

Example

# views.py
from django.shortcuts import render
from book.models import Book

def book(request, book_id):        
    book = Book.objects.filter(id=book_id).first()

    if request.is_post:
        book.title = request.POST.get('title')
        book.save()

        if not request.is_ajax:
            return redirect('book', id=book.id)

    return render(request, 'book.html', {'book': book})
