submit form data to serverside

Question

<form ng-submit="doRegister()">
    <div class="control-group">
        <label for="email">E-Mail Address</label>
        <input type="email" id="email" name="email" ng-model="user.email" autofocus>
    </div>
    <div class="control-group">
        <label for="password">Password</label>
        <input type="password" id="password" name="user.password" ng-model="password">
    </div>
    <div class="control-group">
        <label for="password_confirmation">Confirm Password</label>
        <input type="password" id="password_confirmation" name="password_confirmation" ng-model="user.password_confirmation">
    </div>
    <input type="submit">
</form>

How do I submit the form to register via POST ? Technically I don't know where data could be placed.

function registerCtrl ($scope, $http) {
    document.title = 'Register';
    $scope.doRegister = function(){
        $http.post('/register', data).
            success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
                console.log(data);
            }).
            error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
                angular.element('.errors').html(data.errors.join('<br>')).slideDown();
            });
    };
}

EDIT : Progress:

function registerCtrl ($scope, $http) {
    document.title = 'Register';
    $scope.user = {};
    $scope.doRegister = function(){
        $http.post('/register', $scope.user);
    };
}

but the request sent to the server was an empty array in php :

Array()

Answer 1

You already have a properties binded within the form. You can define data using them.

For example, for email field:

var data = {};
data.email = $scope.email;

Or you can even define $scope.data = {} in controller, and post it.

This seems to be one of the problem that people see with $http.post() for sending form data. Solution is given in the following Q&A.

AngularJS - Any way for $http.post to send request parameters instead of JSON?

Answer 2

You need to declare variables and change headers like this:

function registerCtrl ($scope, $http) {
    document.title = 'Register';
    $scope.user = {
        email: '',
        password: ''
    };
    $scope.doRegister = function(){
        $http({
            url: '/register', 
            data: $scope.user,
            headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'},
            transformRequest: function(obj) {
                var str = [];
                for(var p in obj)
                    str.push(encodeURIComponent(p) + "=" + encodeURIComponent(obj[p]));
                return str.join("&");
            },
        });
    };
}

AngularJS' post method sends data as Request Payload.

Just use:

$json = json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input"));

You can access values in php by using

$email = $json->email;
$password = $json->password;
$password_confirmation = $json->password_confirmation;

<form id="Register" action="/register">
 <div class="control-group">
        <label for="email">E-Mail Address</label>
        <input type="email" id="email" name="email" ng-model="email" autofocus>
    </div>
    <div class="control-group">
        <label for="password">Password</label>
        <input type="password" id="password" name="password" ng-model="password">
    </div>
    <div class="control-group">
        <label for="password_confirmation">Confirm Password</label>
        <input type="password" id="password_confirmation" name="password_confirmation" ng-model="password_confirmation">
    </div>
    <input type="submit">
</form>

call ajax function.

$.ajax({
    url: form.prop('action'),
    type: 'POST',
    data: form.serialize(),
    dataType: 'json',
    async: false,
    success: function (result) {

    }
}); // ajax post end

var form = $("#Register"); data pass form.serialize() that is very easy to pass data from server side.
