I am trying to make post request with the following parameters:
const postParams = { 'submission': submission };
However, when the request is actually sent, I observe that submission becomes submission[] in the browser's network tab. This is problematic because my server expects submission and not submission[]. Check the image below for more information.
[Note that the [] was appended to submission][1]

Note that submission (the variable) is an array of integers, so while it makes sense why the [] is attached, is there a way to get rid of that?
Below is the full function.
const postParams = { submission: str_sub };
console.log(postParams)
$.post(root+'/problems/multiple_choice/'+problem_pk+'/run',
postParams,
function(data) {
// Omitted / not relevant
})
.fail(function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) { console.log(textStatus); });
This is jQuery's default behaviour where it follows PHP (instead of traditional) conventions.
See the documentation.
Use .ajax instead of .post and include traditional: true in the options object.
$.ajax(
root+'/problems/multiple_choice/'+problem_pk+'/run',
{
data: postParams,
traditional: true,
success: (data) => { ... }
}(
