json with key "ids" is problematic?

Now to be honest i’m a little bit confused, but when i do a call with

scope.myobj.post("merge", {"ids":"test"});

there is only an empty {} json object in the request body.

However if i change ids to something else, e.g.

scope.myobj.post("merge", {"ids2":"test"});

it works. I cleared browser cache and the myobj object is perfectly fine(every other request works, e.g. delete, put, get etc.).

I don’t think it is a restangular issue, but what could it be?

@ngehlert as in the spec snippet above:

      Restangular.setRestangularFields({
        ids: '_ids' // set this to anything else then "ids"
      });

Now restangular will use a property called _ids on each restangularized object instead of the default ids, which is clashing with your object’s property. The documentation is a bit behind on this matter, I’ll try to update it with some better info.

The above is a global configuration when done like this. But you can scope the configuration also:

  var MyConfiguredRestangular = Restangular.withConfig(function (RestangularProvider) {
    RestangularProvider.setRestangularFields({
      ids: '_ids' // set this to anything else then "ids"
    });
  });
  // now you have a scoped configuration, use as normal Restangular
  var parent = MyConfiguredRestangular.restangularizeElement(null, {id: 1}, 'accounts', true);
  var child = MyConfiguredRestangular.restangularizeElement(null, {ids: 'test'}, null, false);
  parent.post('merge', child);
