Accept request header for json

[bigardone]

Hi! I'm using Marty in a Rails application and I have noticed that all requests done by my HttpStores are done as "* / *" instead of being "application/json" which is the format that I need. To do so using jquery for example I can set the dataType: 'json' attribute and I was wondering if something similar could be done in Marty.

This is what request format looks like using jquery ajax:

<Mime::Type:0x007f8d74b18240 @synonyms=["text/x-json", "application/jsonrequest"], @symbol=:json, @string="application/json">

And this is using Marty's HttpStore:

<Mime::Type:0x007f8d789191c0 @synonyms=[], @symbol=nil, @string="*/*">

Thanks in advance and thanks also for the awesome work you're doing here :)

could you give me an example of how you're making the http request? If you pass in an object for the body then Marty should automatically add the application/json header.

This is how I do it:

CollectionsAPI = Marty.createStateSource
  type: 'http'

  findAll: ->
    @get(Routes.collections_path()).then (res)->
      CollectionsSourceActionCreators.receiveItems res.body

ah, I see. yeah dataType: 'json' would be really helpful here. I will add it to v0.9 (hopefully will be out in a week or two). In the meantime you will have do to

CollectionsAPI = Marty.createStateSource
  type: 'http'

  findAll: ->
    request =
       url: Routes.collections_path()
       headers: { 'content-type': 'application/json' }

    @get(request).then (res)->
      CollectionsSourceActionCreators.receiveItems res.body

Awesome! thank you very much!

dataType is now in the v0.9 branch (#176). Hopefully this will be out soon

Also I realised my previous example was wrong. It should be

CollectionsAPI = Marty.createStateSource
  type: 'http'

  findAll: ->
    request =
       url: Routes.collections_path()
       headers: { 'Accept': 'application/json' }

    @get(request).then (res)->
      CollectionsSourceActionCreators.receiveItems res.body

With the headers: { 'Accept': 'application/json' } option works like a charm, thanks!
