How do I PUT data to Rails using JQuery

Question

I am trying to send a jquery ajax PUT request that looks like this:

$.ajax({
          type: \"PUT\",
          url: \'/admin/pages/1.json\',
          data:         


        

Answer 1

Ok, actually my JSON data didn't have the page key, my mistake. So thats why it was not correctly parsing. But now I get "[object Object]" string as the value for page key instead of a nicely parsed json object.

Where should I look: JQuery or Rails?

EDIT:

I've solved my issue stringifying the json object with a script found here: www.json.org/js.html:

$.ajax({
      type: "PUT",
      url: '/admin/pages/1.json',
      data: { page : JSON.stringify( {...} ) },
      dataType: 'json',
      success: function(msg) {
        alert( "Data Saved: " + msg );
      }
});

On the rails side json gem must be required. In the controller:

 params[:page] = JSON.parse params[:page] if params[:page].is_a? String
