Outputting JSON - Best Practice
Permalink
Dear Community,
i have looked in the past for a good way to output JSON with Concrete5. That's very useful for AJAX requests.
There was two ways i have found:
1) Outputting something with print/echo and breaking up the script with exit/die (not good)
2) Creating a custom theme for ajax outputs with no header and footer (also not the best solution)
After analyze the Core i found a hidden Symfony method to handle that. In my opinion this is the best solution to output JSON to the browser.
Past this code into your Page Controller:
Header:
Class:
Best regards
Fabian

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\JsonResponse;Class:
public function my_ajax_method() { return new JsonResponse( $some_data ); }

Or if you do it manually, simply.
