How to send parameters with jquery $.get()

Question

I\'m trying to do a jquery GET and i want to send a parameter.

here\'s my function:

$(function() {
    var availableProductNames;
    $.get(\"manag         


        

Answer 1

I got this working : -

$.get('api.php', 'client=mikescafe', function(data) {
...
});

It sends via get the string ?client=mikescafe then collect this variable in api.php, and use it in your mysql statement.

Answer 2

Try this:

$.ajax({
    type: 'get',
    url: 'manageproducts.do',
    data: 'option=1',
    success: function(data) {

        availableProductNames = data.split(",");

        alert(availableProductNames);

    }
});

Also You have a few errors in your sample code, not sure if that was causing the error or it was just a typo upon entering the question.

Answer 3

If you say that it works with accessing directly manageproducts.do?option=1 in the browser then it should work with:

$.get('manageproducts.do', { option: '1' }, function(data) {
    ...
});

as it would send the same GET request.

Answer 4

This is what worked for me:

$.get({
    method: 'GET',
    url: 'api.php',
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
    // query parameters go under "data" as an Object
    data: {
        client: 'mikescafe'
    }
});

will make a REST/AJAX call - > GET http://localhost:3000/api.php?client=mikescafe

Good Luck.
