I am attempting to achieve the following:
$.ajax({
type: "PUT",
url: /example,
data: {_method: "put", "foo_model[bar_attribute]": value_var }
});
It is working as expected, but I need to dynamically construct the part foo_model[bar_attribute].
I have attempted the following approach:
var model = "foo_model";
var attribute = "foo_attribute";
var param = model + "[" + attribute + "]";
var dataStr = '{_method: "put",' + param + ': ' + value + '}';
And then again:
$.ajax({
type: "PUT",
url: /example,
data: dataStr
});
However, it does not work as intended. jQuery seems to be escaping quotes and adding curly brackets everywhere...
Is there a better way to accomplish this? I have also tried other methods such as creating a JSON object, setting processData to false, as mentioned in another post, but nothing seems to be effective... The request always gets transformed and escaped. I also attempted to use unescape, but it only works when I explicitly write:
data: {_method: "put", "foo_model[bar_attribute]": value_var }Thank you.
