Answer 1

I am not sure whether it's an elegant solution but I made it to work as suggested by Priyank Patel

views.py

def like(request):
    response_dict = {}
    if request.user.is_authenticated():
        if request.method == 'POST':
            if not something:
                response_dict.update({'message': "Requested" })
            else:
                response_dict.update({'message': "You have already requested" })

        return HttpResponse(simplejson.dumps(response_dict),
                        mimetype='application/javascript')
    else:
        response_dict.update({'message': "Login please",'not_authenticated':True  })
        return HttpResponse(simplejson.dumps(response_dict),
                        mimetype='application/javascript')
