Submitting Edit form - Map formdata to MVC Model

jacktrap

Hello,

I want to simply map saved edited fields to a model in mvc. My form data is simply :

action: edit
data[10046][AccountName]: 10000
data[10046][DisplayName]: bob jane
data[10046][GivenName]: bobby

What model structure do I require for MVC to automatically map these values to my model?

I don't believe there is a way in MVC to automatically map values in that structure. I might be wrong, but I think you would need to flatten it to something like:

action: edit,
AccountName: 10000
DisplayName: bob jane
GivenName: bobby

You can do that using the ajax.data option.

Of course the disadvantage of that is that you can only edit a single row at a time, which is why Editor submits it in the format shown above by default.

The Editor .NET libraries will read that format without issue.
