In Django, you can retrieve data from a request using either request.POST or request.body, depending on the content type of the request and how the data is being sent. Here’s a detailed explanation of when to use each:

1. Using request.POST

  字典格式的form data

• When to Use: Use request.POST when your form is submitted via a standard HTML form submission (using application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data content types).
• How to Access: Data is accessed as a dictionary-like object.

• def item_update(request, pk):
      if request.method == 'POST':
          name = request.POST.get('name')
          description = request.POST.get('description')
          # Process the data as needed

  2. Using request.body

•   第三方前端推送，或者把這個(gè)form字典格式的form data

• let person = {
      name: "張三",
      age: 30,
      city: "北京"
  };
  
  let jsonString = JSON.stringify(person);
  console.log(jsonString); // 輸出 '{"name":"張三","age":30,"city":"北京"}'

  或者form

•             fetch('{% url "myapp1:item_update" form.instance.id %}', {
                  method: 'POST',
                  headers: {
                      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
                      'X-CSRFToken': csrfToken
                  },
                  body: JSON.stringify(this.form)
  
              })

  • When to Use: Use request.body when your request is sending JSON data (typically with the application/json content type) or when you are not using a standard form submission.
  • How to Access: You need to parse the raw body of the request because it will be a byte string. Use json.loads() to convert it to a Python dictionary.

    • import json
      from django.http import JsonResponse
      
      def item_update(request, pk):
          if request.method == 'POST':
              try:
                  data = json.loads(request.body)  # Parse the JSON data
                  name = data.get('name')
                  description = data.get('description')
                  # Process the data as needed
                  return JsonResponse({'success': True})
              except json.JSONDecodeError:
                  return JsonResponse({'error': 'Invalid JSON'}, status=400)

      Summary of Differences

      Feature	request.POST	request.body
      Use Case	Standard form submissions	JSON data or raw body content
      Access Method	Directly as a dictionary-like object	Requires parsing with json.loads()
      Content-Type	application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data	application/json

      Conclusion

      • Use request.POST for traditional form submissions.
      • Use request.body when dealing with JSON or other raw data formats.
      • Ensure to handle errors (like JSON decoding errors) when using request.body.

如果你是從HTML表單接收數(shù)據(jù)，并且數(shù)據(jù)是通過編碼為application/x-www-form-urlencoded的，使用request.POST。
如果你是從API客戶端接收數(shù)據(jù)，并且數(shù)據(jù)是以JSON或其他格式編碼的，使用request.body，然后根據(jù)實(shí)際情況解析數(shù)據(jù)
