Proper way to use AJAX Post in jquery to pass model from strongly typed MVC3 view
I found 3 ways to implement this:
C# class:
public class AddressInfo {
public string Address1 { get; set; }
public string Address2 { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
public string State { get; set; }
public string ZipCode { get; set; }
public string Country { get; set; }
}
Action:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Check(AddressInfo addressInfo)
{
return Json(new { success = true });
}
JavaScript you can do it three ways:
1) Query String:
$.ajax({
url: '/en/Home/Check',
data: $('#form').serialize(),
type: 'POST',
});
Data here is a string.
"Address1=blah&Address2=blah&City=blah&State=blah&ZipCode=blah&Country=blah"
2) Object Array:
$.ajax({
url: '/en/Home/Check',
data: $('#form').serializeArray(),
type: 'POST',
});
Data here is an array of key/value pairs :
=[{name: 'Address1', value: 'blah'}, {name: 'Address2', value: 'blah'}, {name: 'City', value: 'blah'}, {name: 'State', value: 'blah'}, {name: 'ZipCode', value: 'blah'}, {name: 'Country', value: 'blah'}]
3) JSON:
$.ajax({
url: '/en/Home/Check',
data: JSON.stringify({ addressInfo:{//missing brackets
Address1: $('#address1').val(),
Address2: $('#address2').val(),
City: $('#City').val(),
State: $('#State').val(),
ZipCode: $('#ZipCode').val()}}),
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8'
});
Data here is a serialized JSON string. Note that the name has to match the parameter name in the server!!
='{"addressInfo":{"Address1":"blah","Address2":"blah","City":"blah","State":"blah", "ZipCode", "blah", "Country", "blah"}}'
You can skip the var declaration and the stringify. Otherwise, that will work just fine.
$.ajax({
url: '/home/check',
type: 'POST',
data: {
Address1: "423 Judy Road",
Address2: "1001",
City: "New York",
State: "NY",
ZipCode: "10301",
Country: "USA"
},
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
success: function (data) {
alert(data.success);
},
error: function () {
alert("error");
}
});
This is the way it worked for me:
$.post("/Controller/Action", $("#form").serialize(), function(json) {
// handle response
}, "json");
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult TV(MyModel id)
{
return Json(new { success = true });
}
