航行如何将数组中的字符串类型转换为json

Question

I have a simple REST application built in Sails and I want to save the correct data in a model attribute of type array .

Route to post

http://localhost:1337/locations/create?name=savassibeer&locations={latitude:23789472398.2344,longitude:2734637892.56756756}&locations={latitude:22.2344,longitude:2562.56756756,date:2014-02-15T11:00:00}

The result

{
  name: "savassibeer",
  locations: [
    "{latitude:23789472398.2344,longitude:2734637892.56756756}",
    "{latitude:22.2344,longitude:2562.56756756,date:2014-02-15T21:49:23.084Z}"
  ],
  createdAt: "2014-02-15T21:49:23.084Z",
  updatedAt: "2014-02-15T21:49:23.084Z",
  id: "52ffe0e345d19ec72b4fac77"
}

How can I transform the strings in locations to a valid JSON Object and save it?

Answer 1

You're not going to be able to do this using URL shortcuts (ie hitting /locations/create in the browser). They're not designed to do type-guessing. If you want to save data this way, the answer is to write a custom create action in your Locations controller that will 1) validate the locations data as @marionebl mentions above, and 2) set the locations attribute as a Javascript array.
