How to ready body output from xsjslib in UI5?

[former_member594414]

Hi All,

I'm trying to execute a POST operation using xsjslib exit. In the xsjslib file, I have written my logic and at the end I'm also setting a output in the body as below

$.response.contentType = "application/json";
$.response.contentType = "text/plain";
$.response.setBody("Done");
}

Also, the controller.js file looks like below

var body = JSON.parse($.request.body.asString());
			oThis.insertService.create("/user", userdata, {
				success: function(oData, result) {
					console.log(body);
				},
				error: function(oError) {
					console.log(oError);
				}
			});
		},

Here my intention is to read the output set in the $.response.setBody("Done") in the console log. I have tried doing this using var body, but I'm not sure if this is the correct apporoach.

Pls help

Please can you add a little bit more details and clarify if you are not getting already errors with that coding (which I assume)?

With "POST operation using xsjslib exit" you mean an exit implementation for an XSOData service?

Controller.js: Is $.request.body.asString() an own implementation of you, because the XSJS implementation is not available on client side?

Hi florian.pfeffer , Yes its "POST operation using xsjslib exit". Like using AJAX calls we return some JSON/any text output to UI, I would like to know if the same thing can be done using xsjslib. Is it possible?

Pls ignore the UI5 code

In general you can do such things in an xsjslib too, if you make the $.reponse object available in your xsjslib function. But it is not possible in the context of an XSOData exit implementation.
