Ajax Login Form

[oshihirii]

The following works (although I wanted to call a function from within login() to do the database query but that wasn't working, so I just added it all to the login() function):

Form

<form name="login" id="login">
<p>username</p>
<p>password</p>
<input type="text" name="username" />
<input type="password" name="password" />
<button type="submit">login</button>
</form>

jQuery

<script>
$(document).on("submit","#login", function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/login',
data: $(this).serialize(),
dataType: 'json',
success: function(results) {
$("#content_area").html("");
$("#content_area").append(results.content);
}
});
});
</script>

Python

@post('/login')
def login():
    """Authenticate users"""
    username = post_get('username')
    password = post_get('password')
    my_var_here = aaa.login(username, password)
    if my_var_here == True:
        dbname = 'mydbname'
        connection = pymongo.MongoClient(os.environ['OPENSHIFT_MONGODB_DB_URL'])
        db = connection[dbname]
        collection = db.mycollection
        href = 'welcome_page'
        query = {'title':href}
        projection = {'_id':0,'content':1}
        cursor = collection.find_one(query,projection)
        response.content_type = 'application/json'
        return dumps(cursor)
    elif my_var_here == False:
        dbname = 'mydbname'
        connection = pymongo.MongoClient(os.environ['OPENSHIFT_MONGODB_DB_URL'])
        db = connection[dbname]
        collection = db.mycollection
        href = 'try_again_page'
        query = {'title':href}
        projection = {'_id':0,'content':1}
        cursor = collection.find_one(query,projection)
        response.content_type = 'application/json'
        return dumps(cursor)
