Pass Angular Model to SailsJs - angularjs

Question

I trying to pass a form via $http.post from AngularJS to Sailsjs
My Sails Controller
create: function(req, res) {
console.log("req: "+req.param('user.firstName'));
res.send(req.param('user.firstName'));
},
My Angular Controller
function RegisterController($scope, $http) {
$scope.submit = function(){
console.log($scope.user.firstName); // works fine so far
$http.post('/user/create', $scope.user)
.success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
console.log("success");
})
.error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
console.log("error");
});
}
}
If I call my sails function like so /user/create?user.firstName=myFirstName its works fine. But if I try to read my passed data if I pass from angular. I don't know. I can't read the parm...
Someone any idea or a small example?
Cheers awesome community =)

You're posting the $scope.user object to your route, so it won't be namespaced under user. If the $scope.user contains, for example:
{firstName: "John", lastName: "Doe"}
then they would be available in your controller action as req.param('firstName') and req.param('lastName').
If you were to post the entire $scope object to /user/create (don't do this!), then you would be able to access req.param('user').firstName, req.param('user').lastName, etc. You still wouldn't be able to access things like req.param('user.firstName'), though; those are Angular expressions but they don't work server-side.
