I'm trying to make an Ajax Post
to my F# controller
so I can call a method, that will print and simple string. Eventually instead of string being displayed, information selected via a checkbox on the webpage will be inserted into a database.
I have been trying to use this to help but I don't really understand it.
My JQuery code at the momment:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#Add').click(function () {
var id = [];
$(':checkbox:checked').each(function (i) {
id[i] = $(this).val();
});
if (id.length === 0) {
alert("Please select at least one checkbox")
}
else {
$.post('http://localhost:48214/api/table/?InsertData');
}
console.log();
})
});
My controller
looks like this:
member this.PostInsertData (Insert : string) =
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Called method insert data into table")
Table.insertDataTest
//http://localhost:48214/api/table/?InsertData
//^Link to post request
My insertDataTest
method:
let insertDataTest =
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Method Called!")
I know through the windows postman application that the a post is possible, as I've had the strings appear in my output. I'm just wondering why a post request will work through postman but not through my web api?
