Before I am using JQuery and I use this to send URL with parameter
window.location = myUrl + $.param({"paramName" : "ok","anotherParam":"hello"});
but with angularjS this does not work the same way
$scope.myButton = function() {
$window.location.open = myUrl + $.param({"paramName" : "ok","anotherParam":"hello"});
};//Error: $ is not defined
can anyone help me how to do this in angularJs
If you are trying to create serialized representation of data like $.param() does,
function serializeData( data ) {
// If this is not an object, defer to native stringification.
if ( ! angular.isObject( data ) ) {
return( ( data == null ) ? "" : data.toString() );
}
var buffer = [];
// Serialize each key in the object.
for ( var name in data ) {
if ( ! data.hasOwnProperty( name ) ) {
continue;
}
var value = data[ name ];
buffer.push(
encodeURIComponent( name ) + "=" + encodeURIComponent( ( value == null ) ? "" : value )
);
}
// Serialize the buffer and clean it up for transportation.
var source = buffer.join( "&" ).replace( /%20/g, "+" );
return( source );
}
and use this for your data serialization
There's a built-in serializer in angular which mimics $.param():
$httpParamSerializerJQLike
AngularJs has jquery lite on its core so you can use angular.element.param() instead of $.param()
I found this function useful for url serialization. Will also work for nested objects.
var param = function(obj) {
if ( ! angular.isObject( obj) ) {
return( ( obj== null ) ? "" : obj.toString() );
}
var query = '', name, value, fullSubName, subName, subValue, innerObj, i;
for(name in obj) {
value = obj[name];
if(value instanceof Array) {
for(i in value) {
subValue = value[i];
fullSubName = name + '[' + i + ']';
innerObj = {};
innerObj[fullSubName] = subValue;
query += param(innerObj) + '&';
}
} else if(value instanceof Object) {
for(subName in value) {
subValue = value[subName];
fullSubName = name + '[' + subName + ']';
innerObj = {};
innerObj[fullSubName] = subValue;
query += param(innerObj) + '&';
}
}
else if(value !== undefined && value !== null)
query += encodeURIComponent(name) + '=' + encodeURIComponent(value) + '&';
}
return query.length ? query.substr(0, query.length - 1) : query;
};
You can simply use $.param on the javascript object and pass it to either $resource or $http and it should work fine. One caveat though is ensure it is an object and not an array.
var badParam = {'name':'john',...}; // contains more properties
var goodParam = {name :'john',...}; // contains more properties
you can inject and use this function instead: $httpParamSerializerJQLike()
