jQuery Ajax POSTing array to ASP.NET MVC Controller

Question

I\'m missing something here. I\'ve got this jQuery JavaScript:

$.ajax({
    type: \"POST\",
    url: \"/update-note-order\",
    dataType: \"json\",
    data         


        

Answer 1

Just set the traditional parameter to true:

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "/update-note-order",
    dataType: "json",
    traditional: true,
    data: {
        orderedIds: orderedIds,
        unixTimeMs: new Date().getTime()
    }
});

Since jquery 1.4 this parameter exists because the mechanism to serialize objects into query parameters has changed.

Answer 2

you'll need to turn orderedId's into a param array, or the controller won't see it

$.param({ orderedIds: orderedIds });  

in your code:

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "/update-note-order",
    dataType: "json",
    data: {
        orderedIds: $.param({ orderedIds: orderedIds }),
        unixTimeMs: new Date().getTime()
    }
});
