Using JSON input in Ruby method on Rails
- by Zachary
I am using jQuery to make an AJAX call to a ruby method in my controller. The javascript looks something like this:
var latLongJSON =
{
"address": [
{"lat" : 50,
"long" : 50} ]
};
var returnedAddresses;
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
data: latLongJSON,
url: "map/getaddresses",
success: function(data) {
returnedAddresses = JSON.parse(data);
}
});
Then in my 'getaddresses' method, my parameter coming through looks like:
Parameters: {"address"=>"[object Object]"}
I'm not sure what to do with this. I'm fairly new to Ruby, and I'm not sure if I need to convert this to something else, or what. Ideally I want to be able to pass in multiple sets of lat/long in the 'address' array, then be able to iterate over those in my Ruby code.
