How to pass parameters to $http in angularjs?

Question

Assume that I have two input boxes with corresponding ng-model as fname and lname. If I call http request as :

$http({method:'GET', url:'/search', params:{fname: fname, lname: lname}}) 

will it call to the url :

/search?fname=fname&lname=lname 

The error I am getting at the backend(python) is :

cannot concatenate str and nontype objects. 

Are these parameters not sent as strings? If not, how to get around with this?

Answer 1

Here is how you do it:

$http.get("/url/to/resource/", {params:{"param1": val1, "param2": val2}})     .then(function (response) { /* */ })... 

Angular takes care of encoding the parameters.

Maxim Shoustin's answer does not work ({method:'GET', url:'/search', jsonData} is not a valid JavaScript literal) and JeyTheva's answer, although simple, is dangerous as it allows XSS (unsafe values are not escaped when you concatenate them).

Answer 2

Build URL '/search' as string. Like

"/search?fname="+fname"+"&lname="+lname 

Actually I didn't use

 `$http({method:'GET', url:'/search', params:{fname: fname, lname: lname}})`  

but I'm sure "params" should be JSON.stringify like for POST

var jsonData = JSON.stringify(     {         fname: fname,         lname: lname      } ); 

After:

$http({   method:'GET',   url:'/search',   params: jsonData });
