jquery Ajax Doesn't Send JSON Data

I am trying to send an ajax send request, but it always goes into error .

$('form#contactForm button.submit').click(function () {

            var contactName = $('#contactForm #contactName').val();
            var contactEmail = $('#contactForm #contactEmail').val();
            var contactSubject = $('#contactForm #contactSubject').val();
            var contactMessage = $('#contactForm #contactMessage').val();

            var data = {
                'contactName': contactName,
                'contactEmail': contactEmail,
                'contactSubject': contactSubject,
                'contactMessage': contactMessage
            };

            $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: "/",
                data: data,
                dataType: 'json',
                contentType: "application/json",
                success: function (msg) {
                    alert('success message: ' + msg);
                    if (msg == 'OK') {
                        $('#image-loader').fadeOut();
                        $('#message-warning').hide();
                        $('#contactForm').fadeOut();
                        $('#message-success').fadeIn();
                        $('#contactForm button.submit').prop('disabled', true);
                    }
                    else {
                        $('#image-loader').fadeOut();
                        $('#message-warning').html(msg);
                        $('#message-warning').fadeIn();
                    }

                },
                error: function (err) {
                    if (contactName.length === 0 || contactEmail.length === 0 || contactSubject.length === 0 ||
                        contactMessage.length === 0) {
                        $('#message-warning').html('Please check form once again.');
                        $('#message-warning').fadeIn();
                        event.preventDefault();
                    }
                    alert('inside error: ' + err.message);
                }
            });
            return false;
});

This always shows alert('inside error: ' + err.message); in error .I also tried data: JSON.stringify(data) and it didn't work either. Is there a problem with data variable? Where is the problem?

backend post

router.post('/', function (req, res) {
    if (typeof req.body.contactName === 'undefined' || typeof req.body.contactEmail === 'undefined' ||
        typeof req.body.contactSubject === 'undefined' || typeof req.body.contactMessage === 'undefined' ||
        !validator.isEmail(req.body.contactEmail)) {
        return res.status(400).send('error');
    }
    mail.sendMail(req.body.contactName, req.body.contactEmail, req.body.contactSubject, req.body.contactMessage);
    return res.status(200).send('okay');
});

dataType refers to the expected response from the server - see HERE. If the response is not JSON, remove dataType: 'json' from the ajax function, and jQuery will make an intelligent guess.


I have removed dataType: 'json' and contentType: "application/json" and ajax request succeeded. I still don't know why but it worked after removing them.


The ajax client expects your response MIME type as 'json', however you provided a plain text 'okay' as response.

If you still need to send json as a response, you can make use of res.type change your backend like this:

router.post('/', function (req, res) {
    if (typeof req.body.contactName === 'undefined' || typeof req.body.contactEmail === 'undefined' ||
        typeof req.body.contactSubject === 'undefined' || typeof req.body.contactMessage === 'undefined' ||
        !validator.isEmail(req.body.contactEmail)) {
        return res.status(400).type('json').send({"result": "error"});
    }
    mail.sendMail(req.body.contactName, req.body.contactEmail, req.body.contactSubject, req.body.contactMessage);
    return res.status(200).type('json').send({"result":"okay"});
});

Then your frontend should work as expected. For most of the case, you don't need to specify dataType , because ajax could determine the mime type automatically base on your server response.
