I have a function which does a http POST request. The code is specified below. This works fine.
$http({
url: user.update_path,
method: "POST",
data: {user_id: user.id, draft: true}
});
I have another function for http GET and I want to send data to that request. But I don't have that option in get.
$http({
url: user.details_path,
method: "GET",
data: {user_id: user.id}
});
The syntax for http.get is
get(url, config)
An HTTP GET request can't contain data to be posted to the server. However, you can add a query string to the request.
angular.http provides an option for it called params.
$http({
url: user.details_path,
method: "GET",
params: {user_id: user.id}
});
See: http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.$http#get and https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http#usage (shows the params param)
You can pass params directly to $http.get() The following works fine
$http.get(user.details_path, {
params: { user_id: user.id }
});
Starting from AngularJS v1.4.8, you can use
get(url, config) as follows:
var data = {
user_id:user.id
};
var config = {
params: data,
headers : {'Accept' : 'application/json'}
};
$http.get(user.details_path, config).then(function(response) {
// process response here..
}, function(response) {
});
