Typo3 Extbase AJAX without page typenum

Question

Is there any way to create AJAX calls in Extbase extension without using of page typeNum?

Answer 1

For Test Extension.

Include EID in the ext_localconf.php file

## Ajax configuration
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['FE']['eID_include']['Test'] = \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::extPath('test').'Classes/Ajax/EidDispatcher.php';

Create directory in classes – Classes/Ajax/EidDispatcher.php

namespace TYPO3\Test\Ajax;

class EidDispatcher {
    /**
   * @var \array
   */
    protected $configuration;

    /**
   * @var \array
   */
    protected $bootstrap;

    /**
   * The main Method
   *
   * @return \string
   */
    public function run() {
        return $this->bootstrap->run( '', $this->configuration );
    }

    /**
   * Initialize Extbase
   *
   * @param \array $TYPO3_CONF_VARS
   */
    public function __construct($TYPO3_CONF_VARS) {

        $ajaxRequest = \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::_GP('tx_Test_addhours');

        // create bootstrap
        $this->bootstrap = new \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Core\Bootstrap();

        // get User
        $feUserObj = \TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\Utility\EidUtility::initFeUser();

        // set PID
        $pid = (\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::_GET( 'id' )) ? \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::_GET('id') : 1;

        // Create and init Frontend
        $GLOBALS['TSFE'] = \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::makeInstance( 'TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\Controller\TypoScriptFrontendController', $TYPO3_CONF_VARS, $pid, 0, TRUE );
        $GLOBALS['TSFE']->connectToDB();
        $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user = $feUserObj;
        $GLOBALS['TSFE']->id = $pid;
        $GLOBALS['TSFE']->determineId();
        $GLOBALS['TSFE']->getCompressedTCarray(); //Comment this line when used for TYPO3 7.6.0 on wards
        $GLOBALS['TSFE']->initTemplate();
        $GLOBALS['TSFE']->getConfigArray();
        $GLOBALS['TSFE']->includeTCA(); //Comment this line when used for TYPO3 7.6.0 on wards

        // Get Plugins TypoScript
        $TypoScriptService = new \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Service\TypoScriptService();
        $pluginConfiguration = $TypoScriptService->convertTypoScriptArrayToPlainArray($GLOBALS['TSFE']->tmpl->setup['plugin.']['tx_Test.']);

        // Set configuration to call the plugin
        $this->configuration = array (
                'pluginName' => $ajaxRequest['pluginName'],
                'vendorName' => 'TYPO3',
                'extensionName' => 'Test',
                'controller' => $ajaxRequest['controller'],
                'action' => $ajaxRequest['action'],
                'mvc' => array (
                        'requestHandlers' => array (
                                'TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\Web\FrontendRequestHandler' => 'TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\Web\FrontendRequestHandler'
                        )
                ),
                'settings' => $pluginConfiguration['settings'],
                'persistence' => array (
                        'storagePid' => $pluginConfiguration['persistence']['storagePid']
                )
        );

    }
}
global $TYPO3_CONF_VARS;
// make instance of bootstrap and run
$eid = \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::makeInstance( 'TYPO3\Test\Ajax\EidDispatcher', $TYPO3_CONF_VARS );
echo $eid->run();

Call From Script

$.ajax({
    async: 'true',
    url: 'index.php',      
    type: 'GET', 
    data: {
        eID: "Test",  
        tx_ExtName_PluginName: {
            pluginName:  'Plugin_Name',
            controller:  'Controller_Name',
            action:      'Action_Name',
        }
    },
    success:function(data){
        // code
    }
});
