mutidimensional array from javascript/jquery to ruby/sinatra
- by user199368
Hi,
how do I pass a 2-dimensional array from javascript to ruby, please? I have this on client side:
function send_data() {
var testdata = {
"1": {
"name": "client_1",
"note": "bigboy"
},
"2": {
"name": "client_2",
"note": "smallboy"
}
}
console.log(testdata);
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'test',
dataType: 'json',
data: testdata
});
}
and this on server side:
post '/test' do p params end
but I can't get it right. The best I could get on server side is something like
{"1"=>"[object Object]", "2"=>"[object Object]"}
I tried to add JSON.stringify on client side and JSON.parse on server side, but the first resulted in
{"{\"1\":{\"name\":\"client_1\",\"note\":\"bigboy\"},\"2\":{\"name\":\"client_2\",\"note\":\"smallboy\"}}"=>nil}
while the latter has thrown a TypeError - can't convert Hash into String.
Could anyone help, or maybe post a short snippet of correct code, please? Thank you
