TYPO3 Extbase call action through ajax.

Below are the steps to call controller action from ajax.

1. Add the following typoscript on extension setup.

plugin.tx_extname {}
#After this
actionname = PAGE
actionname {
typeNum = 1234
config {
disableAllHeaderCode = 1
additionalHeaders = Content-type:application/html|Cache-Control:no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0|Pragma:no-cache
xhtml_cleaning = 0
admPanel = 0
}

10 < tt_content.list.20.extname_controllername
}

3. In controller

/**
* action actionname
*
* @return void
*/
public function actionnameAction() {
return ‘test ajax content’;
}

2. In fluid template

<f:link.action action=”actionname” additionalParams=”{type:’1234′,no_cache:’1′}” noCacheHash=”1″ class=”test”>
Ajax click
</f:link.action>
<div id=”ajax_content”></div>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(‘.test’).click(function() {
var href = $(this).attr(‘href’);
$.ajax({
url: href,
cache: false,
success: function(htmldata){
$(“#ajax_content”).html(htmldata);
}
});
return false;
});
});
</script>

If everything is correct, it should work.
