AngularsJS POST JSON data to Symfony2

Question

I would like to know why this is not working , I have a AngularJS app witch sends trough AJAX data to a Symfony2 Application. As you can see, data is sent in my network console

<?php

namespace Supbox\CloudBundle\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\JsonResponse;
class FolderController extends Controller
{
    public function createAction(){
        $post = $this->getRequest()->request;
        $name = $post->get("name");
        $folder = $post->get("folder");
        var_dump($post);
        die; 
    }
}

AngularJS code

    $http({
            method: 'POST', 
            url: route.folder.create, 
            data: {
                folder: $scope.id,
                name: name
            }
        })

Opera Network Console Output

If you (Angular JS) post data through header as JSON you need to change your code like this:

public function createAction(){
    $post = $this->getRequest()->getContent();
    $post = json_decode($post);
    $name = $post->name;
    $folder = $post->folder;
    var_dump($post);
    var_dump($name); // null
    var_dump($folder); // null
    die; 
}
