Sails js http post request with content-type: application/json

Question

I would like to understand how to write sails-js controller when http request looks as below, especially here I am trying to send raw-data with Content-Type: application/json . Please advise. (I am able to work with POST with form-data, In controller if read req.body I get form-data as key-value pairs of json)

var settings = {
  "async": true,
  "crossDomain": true,
  "url": "http://localhost:1337/person/create",
  "method": "POST",
  "headers": {
    "content-type": "application/json"
  },
  "data": "{'companyID':'DEV','firstName':'Radha','lastName':'A',  'otherIDs': [123,345] }"
}

$.ajax(settings).done(function (response) {
  console.log(response);
});

Answer 1

Try replacing the data line with this:

data: '{ "companyID":"TGDEV","firstName":"Naga","lastName":"A", "otherIDs": [123,345] }'

I think it has something to do with the JSON being invalid. Single quotes are not valid JSON. Check your JSON here if you're unsure, it's a good resource: http://jsonlint.com/

Answer 2

将数据行替换为： data: '{ "companyID":"TGDEV","firstName":"Naga","lastName":"A", "otherIDs": [123,345] } '
