Webservice JSON in post body

Varun_R_ — Sat, 13 Feb 2016 12:00:34 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to call the post method of a Nodejs webservice which expects a json object in the body.

How would I do this with XDK & IODOCS?

Thanks

Hi Varun,

You may use jquery ajax, something like this:

	$.ajax({
		type:'POST', 
		url: 'http://localhost:3000/endpoint',
		data: '{"email":"'+mail+'", "password":"'+pass+'"}',
		dataType: "json",
		success: function (response) {
                   //use response on success
                   console.log('success');
		},
		error: function (response) {
		   console.log('error');
		}
	});

Regards

Diego

Hi Diego,

Thanks for the reply

I modified the iodocs js file that exports the webservice to this

return $.ajax({
url: url,
type: 'POST',
data:data,
dataType: "json"
});

The service isnt getting the json data

Thanks
