Send an Object and a string variable on Jquery Ajax

Question

Ok, Im fairly new making Ajax calls and I wanted to know if it is possible to send more than 1 parameter in an Ajax call.

in my $.Ajax im sending an object and a string.

 $.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            url: urlAction,
            cache: false,
            data: JSON.stringify(customer,telephone),
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            success: function (data) {
            //Do something
            },
            error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
            //Do something
            }
        });

Is it possible to send more than 1 parameter in data? or in this case it would be best to consider telephone as part of the customer DTO?

My JsonResult is trying to receive a customer and a string telephone, but telephone is null

For instance, you can send an object containing your data.

When you use JSON.stringify you need to make sure you pass in an object. So in this instance, you could do:

JSON.stringify({customer: customer, telephone: telephone})

and you could pass any information you want in that object:

JSON.stringify({customer: customer, telephone: telephone, name: 'Carl'})

Then on your server (what ever code it is, using Ruby as an example) you could access it as:

params[:customer]
params[:telephone]
params[:customer][:name]

PHP example just for fun:

$_POST['customer'];
$_POST['telephone'];
$_POST['customer']['name'];

^ I think that's still valid PHP, it's been a few years
