How to specify dataType: 'json' in Angular.js $http.post?

Question

I would like to specify dataType: 'json' as in conventional jQuery $.ajax. Is this possible with Angular.js $http.post ?

Answer 1

You can use the HTTP Config object to set the headers:

$http({
    method: 'POST',
    url: 'somewhere.xyz',
    headers: {
        'Content-type': 'application/json'
    }
})
