How to pass parameter into editor webapi in asp.net framework for where condition

Kinglet

I try to pass a parameter for where condition on asp.net webapi, but it can not execute and report error:

DataTables warning: table id=example - Ajax error. For more information about this error, please see http://datatables.net/tn/7

Here are my code modified from api/staff

C# Code:

public class StaffController : ApiController
{
    [Route("api/staff")]
    [HttpGet]
    [HttpPost]
    public IHttpActionResult Staff([FromUri]string office)
    {
        var request = HttpContext.Current.Request;
        var settings = Properties.Settings.Default;

        using (var db = new Database(settings.DbType, settings.DbConnection))
        {
            var response = new Editor(db, "datatables_demo")
                .Model<StaffModel>()
                .Field(new Field("first_name")
                    .Validator(Validation.NotEmpty())
                )
                .Field(new Field("last_name"))
                .Field(new Field("extn")
                    .Validator(Validation.Numeric())
                )
                .Field(new Field("age")
                    .Validator(Validation.Numeric())
                    .SetFormatter(Format.IfEmpty(null))
                )
                .Field(new Field("salary")
                    .Validator(Validation.Numeric())
                    .SetFormatter(Format.IfEmpty(null))
                )
                .Field(new Field("start_date")
                    .Validator(Validation.DateFormat(
                        Format.DATE_ISO_8601,
                        new ValidationOpts { Message = "Please enter a date in the format yyyy-mm-dd" }
                    ))
                    .GetFormatter(Format.DateSqlToFormat(Format.DATE_ISO_8601))
                    .SetFormatter(Format.DateFormatToSql(Format.DATE_ISO_8601))
                )
                .Where("office", office, "=")
                .Process(request)
                .Data();

            return Json(response);
        }
    }
}

Java Code:

var editor; // use a global for the submit and return data rendering in the examples

$(document).ready(function () {
    editSimple("Tokyo");
} );

function editSimple(office) {
        editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor({
            ajax: "/api/staff",
            table: "#example",
            fields: [{
                label: "First name:",
                name: "first_name"
            }, {
                label: "Last name:",
                name: "last_name"
            }, {
                label: "Position:",
                name: "position"
            }, {
                label: "Office:",
                name: "office"
            }, {
                label: "Extension:",
                name: "extn"
            }, {
                label: "Start date:",
                name: "start_date",
                type: "datetime"
            }, {
                label: "Salary:",
                name: "salary"
            }
            ]
        });

$('#example').DataTable({
    dom: "Bfrtip",
    ajax: {
        url: "/api/staff",
        type: "POST",
        data: {'office': office}
    },
            columns: [
                {
                    data: null, render: function (data, type, row) {
                        // Combine the first and last names into a single table field
                        return data.first_name + ' ' + data.last_name;
                    }
                },
                { data: "position" },
                { data: "office" },
                { data: "extn" },
                { data: "start_date" },
                { data: "salary", render: $.fn.dataTable.render.number(',', '.', 0, '$') }
            ],
            select: true,
            buttons: [
                { extend: "create", editor: editor },
                { extend: "edit", editor: editor },
                { extend: "remove", editor: editor }
            ]
        });
}

What is the response from the server? If you follow the tech note link in the error message, it will show you how to get that if you aren't sure.
