change Content-type to "application/json" POST method, RESTful API
Assuming you are able to use one of the more recent "unstable" releases, the correct syntax to change the header is.
app.factory('BarService', function ($resource) {
var BarService = $resource('/foo/api/bars/:id', {}, {
'delete': {
method: 'DELETE',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
}
});
return BarService;
});
I find the $resource service is a tremendously powerful tool for building applications and has matured to a point that you do not need to fall back to $http as much. Plus its active record like patterns are damn convenient.
The right way to set 'Content-Type': 'application/json' is setting a transformRequest function for the save action.
angular.module('NoteWrangler')
.factory('NoteNgResource', function NoteNgResourceFactory($resource) {
// https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngResource/service/$resource
return $resource("./php/notes/:id", {}, {
save : { // redefine save action defaults
method : 'POST',
url : "./php/notes", // I dont want the id in the url
transformRequest: function(data, headers){
console.log(headers);
headers = angular.extend({}, headers, {'Content-Type': 'application/json'});
console.log(headers);
console.log(data);
console.log(angular.toJson(data));
return angular.toJson(data); // this will go in the body request
}
}
});
});
It seems there isn't a method to clear query parameters, the request will have both...
Posting a JSON object is quite easy in Angular. All you need to do is the following:
Create a Javascript Object
I'll use your exact properties from your code.
var postObject = new Object();
postObject.userId = "testAgent2";
postObject.token = "testAgent2";
postObject.terminalInfo = "test2";
postObject.forceLogin = "false";
Post the object to the API
To post an object to an API you merely need a simple $http.post function. See below:
$http.post("/path/to/api/", postObject).success(function(data){
//Callback function here.
//"data" is the response from the server.
});
Since JSON is the default method of posting to an API, there's no need to reset that. See this link on $http shortcuts for more information.
With regards to your code specifically, try changing your save method to include this simple post method.
