How to return a value from a Django view?

I am trying to call a view from a JavaScript file using Ajax, but i want the view to return only a value called "this". But when I do this, It throws an error saying view didn't return an HttpResponse object, it returned None instead.

Is it possible to just return a value from a view instead without a Html page?

A view function, or view for short, is simply a Python function that takes a Web request and returns a Web response. Each view function is responsible for returning an HttpResponse object.

In your code, you just return a value instead of HttpResponse. The correct code would be :

from django.http import HttpResponse
def result(request):
    if request=="POST":
       return HttpResponse("something you want to view")

I don't know what the runAreaReview(param) is supposed to return, but assuming it would return a string for example, then this should work:

from django.http import HttpResponse

def result(request):
    param = ...
    this = ...'
    return HttpResponse( this )
