AngularJS $http.post method doesn't sending data to Grails Action - angularjs

Question

My Grails application doesn't receiving data from angularjs post request.
My AngularJS Controller is:
module.controller('MemberCtrl', ['$scope', '$http',
function ($scope, $http) {
$scope.submitForm = function () {
$http.post(uri + "receiveNewMember", $scope.member)
.success(function (data) {
console.log("Data Sent With Success! " + data);
})
.error(function (data) {
console.log("Fail");
});
};
}]);
My Grails Action is:
def receiveNewMember(){
render text: params.name
}
The Debugger Stops into action. But params variable hasn't any data but controller and action.
Someone knows how can I fix this?

Answer 1

The Post Data can be accessed via request.JSON in Grails Controller.

Answer 2

You can do something like this to emulate the way grails works:
post query parameters like jQuery
Also I created a Serializer factory to serialize any kind of javascript object to the expected way on grails:
(function() {
'use strict';
angular.module('app').factory('Serializer', function ($filter) {
function SerializerService(){}
var serializerService = new SerializerService();
serializerService.excludedProperties = ['$$hashKey'];
SerializerService.prototype.serialize = function(object){
var results = {};
this.serializeObject(results, object, "");
return results;
};
SerializerService.prototype.serializeObject = function(results, object, nameAtTheMoment){
if($.isArray(object)){
var array = object;
for (var i=0; i<object.length; i++){
var newNameAtTheMoment = nameAtTheMoment + "[" + i.toString() + "]";
this.serializeObject(results, array[i], newNameAtTheMoment)
}
}
else{
if(Object.prototype.toString.call( object ) === "[object Object]"){
var i=0;
for(var property in object){
if (object.hasOwnProperty(property) && this.excludedProperties.indexOf(property) == -1) {
var newNameAtTheMoment;
if(nameAtTheMoment !== "")
newNameAtTheMoment = nameAtTheMoment + "." + property;
else
newNameAtTheMoment = property;
this.serializeObject(results, object[property], newNameAtTheMoment);
i++;
}
}
}
else{ //the object is a simple value
if(Object.prototype.toString.call(object) === '[object Date]'){
var dateServerFormat = window.appConfig.dateServerFormat;
results[nameAtTheMoment] = $filter('date')(object, dateServerFormat);
}
else
results[nameAtTheMoment] = object;
}
}
};
return serializerService;
});
})();
And following the first link description you can do something like this:
angular.module('app', [...])
.config(function ($provide, $httpProvider) {
var serializer;
// Trick to inject dependencies on the config function.
$provide.factory('FactoryInjector', function () {
return {
setSerializer: function(serializerParam){
serializer = serializerParam;
}
};
});
$httpProvider.defaults.headers.post['Content-Type'] = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=utf-8';
$httpProvider.defaults.transformRequest = [function(data) {
return angular.isObject(data) && String(data) !== '[object File]' ? $.param(serializer.serialize(data)) : data;
}];
})
.run(function ($rootScope, $state, $stateParams, Serializer, FactoryInjector) {
$rootScope.$state = $state;
$rootScope.$stateParams = $stateParams;
FactoryInjector.setSerializer(Serializer);
});
