Sending null data from $.post to controller model

Question

My Model -

 public class Phasessfilter
{
    public string Searchterm {get;set;}
    public string ob1 {get;set;}
    public string ob2 {get;set;}
    public string ob3 {get;set;}
    public List<string> ob4 { get; set; }
    public List<string> ob5 { get; set; } 
}

Controller -

  public JsonResult GtRlts(Phasessfilter jop)
    {
    }

this is my script

    var recr = "";
    var study = "";
    var results = "";
    var phases1 = [];
    var fund = [];
  var values =  { Searchterm: Searchterm, ob1: recr, ob2: study, ob3: results, ob4: phases1, ob5: fund }

    $.post("GtRlts", values, function (abc) {

   }

So i am getting values for Searchterm , ob1 ,ob2 ,ob3 but i am getting null values for ob4 and ob5 .why is List not taking the array values or am i doing something wrong . PS - i dont want to use $.ajax

Answer 1

Change your model to

public class Phasessfilter
{
    public string Searchterm {get;set;}
    public string ob1 {get;set;}
    public string ob2 {get;set;}
    public string ob3 {get;set;}
    public List<string> ob4 { get; set; }
    public List<string> ob5 { get; set; } 
    public Phasessfilter()
    {
        ob4 = new List<string>();
        ob5 = new List<string>();
    }
}

Hey the code written is absolutely fine you just need to test with the values in it and it works just fine.

here is sample Js code

 var searchterm = "test1";
    var recr = "test2";
    var study = "test3";
    var results = "test4";
    var phases1 = ["Test5","Test6"];
    var fund = ["Test6", "Test7"];
    debugger;
    var values = { Searchterm: searchterm, ob1: recr, ob2: study, ob3: results, ob4: phases1, ob5: fund }

    $.post(path + "/Dashboard/Home/GtRlts", values, function (abc) {

    });

and the output for a reference rest of the code is same.

You have just define array variable so it get null value

var phases1 = [];
var fund = [];

You have to add items in it:

var phases1 = [1,2];
var fund = [3,4];
