JQuery Ajax Asynchronous Redirection












0















I face a weird issue while redirecting after an asynchronous ajax POST request. I want to send an asynchronous POST request (file upload) to the server and until I wait for it to finish, since it takes some time, I want to redirect to a different route and there I can watch the status of the upload. My problem is that even if I state that the request is async it first waits for this request to finish, synchronously and then redirects me.
Am I missing anything by chance?



upload.save = function (data) {
var self = this,
result = self.uploadType.getSummaryData();

$.ajax({
method: 'POST',
url: Routing.generate('save'),
data: JSON.stringify({
//My data
}),
cache: false,
contentType : 'application/json',
dataType: 'json',
context: self
});

// Redirection
setTimeout(function () {
window.location.replace(Routing.generate('log'));
}, 3000);
};


I am using Symfony 3.4 and JQuery version is 2.1 and for the redirect I use the FOS JS Routing Bundle v~1.4

    That's not possible, if your page redirects, then your upload will be canceled, unless you are doing client side routing.

  • @IwanWijaya Yep, the redirection is client side. My question is, isn't it possible to just redirect to this route, while the upload goes on? why does it wait for the 'save' route to finish?

  • Simple answer is you can't replace the window the request is being made in without aborting the request. Client side routing is completely different ...think "single page app".

  • You could accept the data and let background process run on server processing the data update sesssion with progreess details. Then initial request would be done very quickly and you can poll another script for progress updates

    Nov 19 '18 at 13:49













  • Ok, so in any case the save POST request should be finished on the client side for the redirection to happen, just on the same time I can create a process on the server that the client doesn't care about

So the issue seems to be on the server side. It seems like PHP needs to end the current session and store the session data with session_write_close() so that each ajax request doesn't have to wait for the next one if async is true.



So this is needed to allow concurrent request from the client side

    When async setting is set to false, a Synchronous call is made instead of an Asynchronous call.



     $.ajax({
    method: 'POST',
    url: Routing.generate('save'),
    data: JSON.stringify({
    //My data
    }),
    cache: false,

    • async: false is a horrible practice and should never ever be used. It is also deprecated by browser vendors and displays console warnings when you do try to use it. Don't do this!
