How to send an array of parameter through GET with Restangular

Question

I have to send an array of filters through get parameters in an API like this :

/myList?filters[nickname]=test&filters[status]=foo

Now if I send an object directly like this :

Restangular.one('myList').get({filters: {
    nickname: 'test',
    status: 'foo'
}});

The query really sent is

?filters={"nickname":"test","status":"foo"}

How to send a real array ? Should I thinks about an alternative ?

Out of curiosity, where or how are you seeing what the query output is? — Dan Jimenez

@Dan Jimenez Network tab in developer tools in any web browser :) That should do the trick. — Diosney

I found a way to do it, I have to iterate over the filter object to create a new object with the [] in the name :

var query = {};
for (var i in filters) {
    query['filters['+i+']'] = filters[i];
}

Restangular.one('myList').get(query);

Produce:

&filters%5Bnickname%5D=test

Someone have better solution ?

Try this:

Restangular.all('myList').getList({filters: {
    nickname: 'test',
    status: 'foo'
}});

This answer is how it should work - using Restangular 1.4.0 and nested array parameters not being converted into a proper http query string. Have you been able to get the code above to work?

if you have very few and controlled parameters, you can use this way.

Assuming that you have few filters:

    var api = Restangular.all('yourEntityName');
    var params = {  commonWay          : 'value1',
                   'filter[property1]' : filterVariable1,
                   'filter[property2]' : filterVariable2
                 };

    api.getList(params).then(function (data) {
        alert(data);
    });

I hope this help you.

stringify the content using JSON

{
  "startkey": JSON.stringify(["Forum-03fa10f4-cefc-427a-9d57-f53bae4a0f7e"]),
  "endkey": JSON.stringify(["Forum-03fa10f4-cefc-427a-9d57-f53bae4a0f7e", {}]),
}

translates to

?endkey=%5B"Forum-03fa10f4-cefc-427a-9d57-f53bae4a0f7e",+%7B%7D%5D&startkey=%5B"Forum-03fa10f4-cefc-427a-9d57-f53bae4a0f7e"%5D

i.e.

?endkey=["Forum-03fa10f4-cefc-427a-9d57-f53bae4a0f7e",{}]&startkey=["Forum-03fa10f4-cefc-427a-9d57-f53bae4a0f7e"]
