I'm working in a MEAN app, in which I want to pass an array value to url and fetch values from mongodb. Actually it's a lat and lng. My url should look like:
http://localhost:8080/search?type=latlng&value=[0.123, 0.456]
And have to fetch data related to that lat lng. How to do that?
You cannot pass literal array objects in the URL like you propose. There are workarounds however. You must either separate the data into {key}={value} pairs within the URL, or use a POST request.
GET: http://localhost:8080/search?type=latlng&lat=0.123&lng=0.456
http://localhost:8080/search?type=latlng&coords[]=0.123&coords[]=0.456
POST: http://localhost:8080/search
data: { type: 'latlng', value: [0.123, 0.456] }
