how to access the form data done on a post request in the views using ajax jquery - django

Question

I'm trying to figure out the best way to send post data to a Django View function.
What I have currently in my jquery code is something like this:
in the jquery:
function ajax_request(type) {
var a="{{parameter}}";
alert(type);
var frm = $('#form1');
form_data=frm.serialize();
alert(form_data);
$.ajax({
type : type,
data: form_data,
url : geturl(a),
dataType : 'json',
)}
i have written i single function called ajax_request. all i need is just access the data i have retrieved in the jquery in my views. how could i get it in my views.
function event_page_load() {
alert("hi");
ajax_request('GET')
}
function click_submit_button() {
ajax_request('POST')
}
function ajax_request(type) {
var a="{{parameter}}";
alert(type);
var frm = $('#form1');
form_data=frm.serialize();
alert(form_data);
$.ajax({
type : type,
data: form_data,
url : geturl(a),
dataType : 'json',
error : function(result) {
alert("error");
// alert("Error occured!!");
},
success : function(result,data)
{
alert("success");
// alert("data");
// $('#container').html(data);
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
type: 'line',
marginRight: 220,
marginBottom: 75,
marginLeft:100,
marginTop:80
},
title: {
marginTop:90,
text: 'Power Consumption Vs Generator Consumption'
},
xAxis: {
categories: result[0]
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Units Of Time'
}
},
series: [{
name: 'Truepower Consumed',
data: result[1]},
{
name: 'Generator Consumed',
data:result[2]}],
});
}
})
}

You can use $.post
$.post({
geturl(a),
{ data: form_data, dataType : 'json' },
// response handler
});
Example :
$.post()
$("#post").click(function(){
$("#result").html(ajax_load);
$.post(
loadUrl,
{language: "php", version: 5},
function(responseText){
$("#result").html(responseText);
},
"html"
);
});
