How to post viewmodel in MVC using jquery [closed]

Answer 1

You should collect the data from inputs manually and construct JSON object that correspond to your C# model class. For example if you wait ProductViewModel object in your action method you can follow this example:

var myData = {
    productName: $('#ProductName').val(),
    cost: $('#Cost').val(),
    // .. and so on
};

$.ajax({
    data: JSON.stringify(myData),
    // .. the other ajax options
});

It's even easier if you have form element. Just select the form with jQuery and call serialize method. The data will be encoded as a string for submission. The format will be application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8 that is the $.ajax default too and you won't need to specified it. Example:

var myData = $('#myFormId').serialize();
$.ajax({
    data: myData,
    contentType: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8',
    //..Other ajax options
});
