Send list/array as parameter with jQuery getJson

Question

I have the following where I\'m trying to send list/array to MVC controller method:

var id = [];
var inStock = [];

$table.find(\'tbody>tr\').each(functio         


        

Answer 1

In the view, generate multiple named fields (not id, as id should be unique per field), noting the use of Name not name:

@foreach (var item in Model.SomeDictionary)
{
    @Html.TextBoxFor(modelItem => item.Value.SomeString, new { Name = "someString[]" })
}

Then retrieve the input field values using jQuery, so:

var myArrayValues = $('input[name="someString[]"]').map(function () { return $(this).val(); }).get();

You can use this directly in jQuery / AJAX as follows:

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "/MyController/MyAction",
    dataType: 'json',
    data: {
        someStrings: $('input[name="someString[]"]').map(function () { return $(this).val(); }).get(),
        someDates: $('input[name="someDate[]"]').map(function () { return $(this).val(); }).get(),

Then in the controller action in MVC:

[HttpPost]
public JsonResult MyAction(string[] someStrings, DateTime[] someDates...
