Change the parameter key

sandberg75

Hi,
I have been using DataTables for a while (love it) and just started to work with Editor.
Im using a java framework called Stripes that binds parameters to the action bean, on the server side.
When I edit a row the parameters are sent like, key="data[firstname]", value="John".
Is it possible to specify/change the key?

I would like to get rid of the "data[ ]" part so that the value is automatically bound to my javavariable called "firstname", is that somehow possible?

Hi,

We discussed this by e-mail, but I'll post my reply here as well incase anyone else interested finds this post.

To remove the data[] part what you can do is make use of the ajax.data option of Editor which allows you to modify the data submitted to the server.

For example you might have:

ajax: {
    url: '...',
    data: function ( d ) {
        $.extend( d, d.data );
        delete d.data;
    }
}

So what the function does is basically "flatten" the object. $.extend() is used to copy all the properties up to the top level and then the data object is simply deleted.
