Examples

#1 The definition of a successful AJAX request

This jQuery code sends an AJAX request to the ajax/save_field.php plugin file:

jQuery(document).ready(function($){

	$('#btn_save').click( function(e){
		e.preventDefault();

		$.post( pluginUrl + 'ajax/save_field.php', $('#my-form').serialize(), function( json ){

			if( json.success )
				alert( json.data.message );
			else
				alert( 'Error' + json.data );        

		});
	});

});

This is the code of the file save_field.php, which processes the transmitted request. Code below shows how wp_send_json_success() is used:

<?php
// load WP environment

$return = array(
	'message'   => 'Saved',
	'ID'        => 1
);

wp_send_json_success( $return );
