I'm having some problems posting JSON data to my rails controller and getting the fields from my JSON data to map onto the paremeters to create my entity.
Here's what the action looks like:
def create @trip = Trip.new(params[:trip]) if @trip.save respond_to do |format| format.json{render :json => @trip, :status => :created, :location => @trip } end end end And here's the output from the web server:
Started POST "/trips.json" for 127.0.0.1 at Sat Sep 03 12:37:41 -0400 2011 Processing by TripsController#create as JSON Parameters: {"title"=>"Charlie"} AREL (0.5ms) INSERT INTO "trips" ("created_at", "updated_at", "title") VALUES ('2011-09-03 16:37:41.945743', '2011-09-03 16:37:41.945743', NULL) Completed 201 Created in 15ms (Views: 3.5ms | ActiveRecord: 0.5ms) As you can see it's inserting NULL into the title field, I was expecting it to map it on from the JSON data?
Here's the HTTP request:
