POReturning two things in one HttpResponse

copied!<p>I am trying to implement paging across ajax calls. The page should not refresh when the user wants to see the next x num of results.</p> <p>Here is my problem. Returning the QuerySet is super simple. I just do (sumaJson is custom)</p> <pre><code>data = serializers.serialize('sumaJson', result_page.object_list, relations=('first_major', 'country_of_origin', 'second_major')) return HttpResponse(data, mimetype="application/json") </code></pre> <p>Now I also want to return things like</p> <pre><code>result_page.has_previous() result_page.has_next() result_page.paginator.count </code></pre> <p>and so on. I for the life of me can't figure out how to get both across in one response. I can't add this info to result_page.object_list because then the serializer fails. If I something of the sort of </p> <pre><code>simplejson.dumps(paging_info + result_page.object_list) </code></pre> <p>Then in the javascript the QuerySet is no longer a list of objects but just a big string of characters which can't be interpreted with </p> <pre><code>$.each(data.data, function(index, item){ </code></pre> <p>I tried some bad hacks like creating a fake object and putting it in the object_list, serializing this and then deleting the object. This allows me to get the data across. However, I don't want to be creating and deleting fake objects.</p> <p>I don't want to meddle with the serializer. I don't want to send a second ajax request once I get the querySet back to get the paging info.</p> <p>Am I missing something? Is there an easy way to get both across in one response? Thanks!</p>
