I have a web api controller to which I would like to post two parameters. One is a flat int ID, and the other is an IDictionary or similar equivalent.
[HttpPost]
public void DoStuff(int id, [FromBody]IDictionary<int, int> things)
{
}
var things = new Array();
things.push({ 1: 10 }); // tried things.push({ Key: 1, Value: 10 })
things.push({ 2: 11 });
$.ajax({
url: '/api/DoStuff?id=' + id,
data: '=' + JSON.stringify(things), // tried what seems like 100 different things here
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'json'
});
No matter what I try in the data param (data: things
, data: '=' + things
), the Dictionary does not come through to the api controller. It is either null or has one bogus entry ({0, 0}).
I have also tried to send the Dictionary in the Uri - no go.
How can I send the dictionary or key value pair to the api controller?
You don't need an array - you need a simple JS object (which maps to a dictionary). This code should work:
var things = {};
things['1'] = 10;
things['2'] = 11;
$.ajax({
url: '/api/DoStuff?id=' + id,
data: JSON.stringify(things),
contentType: 'application/json'
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'json'
});
This one worked for me:
var settings = [];
settings.push({ key: "setting01", value: "Value01" });
settings.push({ key: "setting02", value: "Value02" });
