Post array of strings to web API method

Question

this is my client side ajax call:

    var list = [\"a\", \"b\", \"c\", \"d\"];

    var jsonText = { data: list };

    $.ajax({
        type: \         


        

Answer 1

You should pass the list itself, and not any other object wrapping it.

E.g. pass the following:

var list = ["a", "b", "c", "d"];

in

$.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "/api/scheduledItemPriceStatus/updateStatusToDelete",
        // Pass the list itself
        data: list, 
        dataType: "json",
        traditional: true,
        success: function() { alert("it worked!"); },
        failure: function() { alert("not working..."); }
    });

Your method signature on server is correct.
