How can I send a jquery object via post

Can you post your jQuery code?

Its the $.post - still trying to get to grips with the markdown formatting.

Try like that, without '

$.post( "playlist", items, function( data) {
    console.log(data)
});

getting

Object {undefined: ""}

Can you post your jQuery code to see where the "items" variables come from; because the code above worked for me.

Hi,

var students = [];
students = [
    { name : 'Jim', age: 18 },
    { name : 'John', age: 24 },
    { name : 'Serhat', age: 25 }
];
//console.log(students);
$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: '/students',
    data: {"students" : JSON.stringify(students)},
    cache: false,
    success: function(result){
        alert(result);
    }
});

public function postStudents()
{
    return var_dump(json_decode(Input::get('students')));

}

Try the following:

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: '/students',
    data: {"students" : students },
    cache: false,
    success: function(result){
        alert(result);
    }
});

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

// assuming this is L5
public function postStudents(Request $request)
{
    return dd($request->only('student'));

}

As a couple of people have referred to above, converting the object to a JSON string may be the way to go with json_encode and then all of the object contents should be available within the receiving scripts.

A model / collection is automagically converted into json when printed.

Most of the answers here have referred .ajax() method instead of .post() which you have asked.

You can use the jQuery Post method like this:

$.post("result.php",
    {
        name1: "Jim",
        age1: 42,
        name2: "Bill",
        age2: 50,
    })
    .done(function (result, status, xhr) {
        alert(result);
    })
    .fail(function (xhr, status, error) {
        alert("Result: " + status + " " + error + " " + xhr.status + " " + xhr.statusText)
    });

The .done() and .fail() are the jQuery Deferred events that will be called when the AJAX request is completed or failed. These are very useful when making AJAX calls.
