AngularJs $http.post() does not send data

Question

Could anyone tell me why the following statement does not send the post data to the designated url? The url is called but on the server when I print $_POST - I get an empty

Answer 1

I also faced similar problem and i was doing something like this and that didn't worked. My Spring controller was not able read data parameter.

var paramsVal={data:'"id":"1"'};
  $http.post("Request URL",  {params: paramsVal});  

But reading this forum and API Doc, I tried following way and that worked for me. If some one also have similar problem, You can try below way as well.

$http({
      method: 'POST',
      url: "Request URL",           
      params: paramsVal,
      headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=utf-8'}
            });

Please check https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http#post for what param config does. {data:'"id":"1"'} – Map of strings or objects which will be turned to URL?data="id:1"
