CQ.HTTP.post()

[Julio_Baixauli]

Hi masters!

Do you have any reference, example, tutorial... about using CQ.HTTP.post() to get server data from the browser? I would like to use it to call to /bin/querybuilder. I've done it using JQuery ajax() method, but I suspect that CQ.HTTP.post() will be more 'elegant' solution...

I've checked the official documentation [1], but there's no example...

Thank you very much!

Regards,

Julio.

CQ.HTTP.post is just another way to do the same thing as AJAX. You can post data using AJAX and i would not say that it's less elegant. AJAX is a standard web technology.  

We have examples of using AJAX to post data from a CQ page to a CQ sling servlet.

You can also post data to CQ using Sling Post Servlets.  

However - having said that -- CQ.HTTP.post is part of CQ and there should be an example of how to use it. I will work with the doc team to make this happen.

Thank you smacdonald2008!

I agree on almost everything you say, but I would like to compare myself both of them. And it's a good opportunity to learn one more thing! 

I'll be waiting, and searching, for any update on this documentation.

Best regards!

We added this to our list to base a CQ dev community article on. Once done - I will update this thread with the link to the community article.
