AngularJS Passing a list into $http.get()

Question

I have a route on my server that is designed to handle a list of objects passed through a GET request. It does this by flattening fields of the same name.

For example:

GET http://example.com/services/echo?list=Hello&list=Stay&list=Goodbye

would be deserialized to a list containing ['Hello', 'Stay', 'Goodbye']

How would I replicate this behavior when using Angular's $http service? One way is to build the URI string manually. Another is to configure the servlet to deserialize the list from one field. But is there a cleaner way to do this, eg by using the config object?

Answer 1

This might work

$http({method: 'GET', url: '/someUrl',params:{list:['foo','bar']}).
success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
  // this callback will be called asynchronously
  // when the response is available
}).
