AngularJS passing data to $http.get request

Question

I have a function which does a http POST request. The code is specified below. This works fine.

 $http({    url: user.update_path,     method: "POST",    data: {user_id: user.id, draft: true}  }); 

I have another function for http GET and I want to send data to that request. But I don't have that option in get.

 $http({    url: user.details_path,     method: "GET",    data: {user_id: user.id}  }); 

The syntax for http.get is

get(url, config)

Answer 1

An HTTP GET request can't contain data to be posted to the server. However, you can add a query string to the request.

angular.http provides an option for it called params.

$http({     url: user.details_path,      method: "GET",     params: {user_id: user.id}  }); 

See: http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.$http#get and https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http#usage (shows the params param)

Answer 2

You can pass params directly to $http.get() The following works fine

$http.get(user.details_path, {     params: { user_id: user.id } });
