Can I somehow force data: to keep the input as pure json

[bdart]

Hi is there a way to force the body to stay as a json object? It looks quite strange with this:

var id = JSON.stringify(id)
console.log(id);
request({
    url: TREATMENT_URL,
    method: 'POST',
    crossOrigin: true,
    type: 'json',
    contentType: 'application/json',
    data: {
      id: 1
    }

When I make the POST call the http call does not contain {"id":1} rather it contains this:

Request Payload:
id=%7B%22id%22%3A1%7D

How can I work around to keep it as json :(?

I got around this by passing the flag processData: false, and processing it myself, i.e. data: JSON.stringify({ id: 1 }).

not working @buob

I meet the same issue. If I set processData: true, it will send request body [object,object] ? How can I send the json object like the post in angular $http.post ?
