Send array in angularjs put mehod

Question

as per api request i must send data categories: [1,2,3,4]

I have tried

data: {
      categories: [1,2,3,4]
}

But it gets sent as

categories[]:1
categories[]:2
categories[]:3

Not as ategories: [1,2,3,4]

How can i send an array of numbers in angularjs $http method

categories: [1,2,3,4]

Why you say it gets sent as categories[]:1 categories[]:2 categories[]:3 and not as [1,2,3,4]? Are you checking it in the backend service and it is arriving like this? — lealceldeiro

the way it gets send now, it should arriving in backend as array, if you want it to be as a string just '[' + [1,2,3,4].join(',') + ']' — Yordan Nikolov

Look at this example it doesn't seems to be a problem to send an array in a PUT — JeanJacques

Finally i have found the answer to my question after alot of research https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/3121

I should have sent it as "categories[]": [1,2,3,4]

not as categories = [1,2,3]
