How can I send message from views ? about channels

[rajasimon]

Oh! Not keyword arguments make sense... And currently I having this code and It's working

result = {}
result['content'] = 'This is another message'
Group("chat").send(result)

Well, you need to know the response channel you're sending to - if you're sending from a WebSocket you'll have that as the reply_channel value of the message in the websocket.receive handler.

Here though, you have a HTTP post, so I'm not sure what you're trying to do - you could just return the value in the response?

Thanks for the reply.. Ya the response channel is chat only and I tried

def result_submit(request):
    result = {}
    result['World'] = 'Earth'
    Group("chat").send(content=result)
    return HttpResponse('Ok')

And It's throwing below error...

exceptions.TypeError: serverSend() takes at least 2 arguments (1 given)

Ah, you're using a Group, that makes more sense (otherwise you'd need to get the individual response channels across to the view).

Group.send() takes a dict, not keyword arguments, though I'm not sure why you don't get the error it's meant to throw immediately - can you paste the full traceback?

Hi, can anyone help me to send the message from a view in django to the channels. I am using the following in views. I am a beginner in channels. Help is appreciated.

message = {}
Channel('background-hello').send(message)

@lawrence-gandhar Please use Django users mailing list for further questions with the topic about usage.

To solve your current issue please try following:

Channel('background-hello').send(message, immediately=True)
