How do I POST urlencoded form data with http without jQuery

0 votes

I am new to AngularJS, and I am trying to make an AJAX call to the server side, using $http from my Angular App.

For sending the parameters, I tried the following:

$http({
    method: "post",
    url: URL,
    headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'},
    data: $.param({username: $scope.userName, password: $scope.password})
}).success(function(result){
    console.log(result);
});

This is working, but it is using jQuery as well at $.param. For removing the dependency on jQuery, I tried:

data: {username: $scope.userName, password: $scope.password}

but this seemed to fail. Then I tried params:

params: {username: $scope.userName, password: $scope.password}

but this also seemed to fail. Then I tried JSON.stringify:

data: JSON.stringify({username: $scope.userName, password: $scope.password})

 Am I doing something wrong? I am sure, AngularJS would provide this functionality, but how?

Hello @kartik,

 I think you need to do is to transform your data from object not to JSON string, but to url params.

By default, the $http service will transform the outgoing request by serializing the data as JSON and then posting it with the content- type, "application/json". When we want to post the value as a FORM post, we need to change the serialization algorithm and post the data with the content-type, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded".

Example:

$http({
    method: 'POST',
    url: url,
    headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'},
    transformRequest: function(obj) {
        var str = [];
        for(var p in obj)
        str.push(encodeURIComponent(p) + "=" + encodeURIComponent(obj[p]));
        return str.join("&");
    },
    data: {username: $scope.userName, password: $scope.password}
}).then(function () {});

Hope it helps!!

Thank you!!
