How to send data to server using angular.tojson?

Well, i'm having some difficult to understand the use of angular.toJson. I completely understand that it changes to a json object...

But, how can i send this obj to the server ? The server already gives a json obj when 'GET', but how use it to 'POST' and others?

sorry, i'm new :)

You don't actually need to call angular.toJson() yourself when posting data to a server or retrieving data from the server using the $http service.

This is the default behaviour that Angular does for you.

From the docs:

Angular provides the following default transformations:

Request transformations ($httpProvider.defaults.transformRequest and $http.defaults.transformRequest):

  • If the data property of the request configuration object contains an object, serialize it into JSON format.

Response transformations ($httpProvider.defaults.transformResponse and $http.defaults.transformResponse):

  • If XSRF prefix is detected, strip it (see Security Considerations section below).
  • If JSON response is detected, deserialize it using a JSON parser.

You can create factory in your app: 

 var app = angular.module('myApp', []);

 app.factory('requestsFactory', ['$http', function ($http) {
        return {
            postData: function (data) {
                var url = // some url to send your data
                return $http.post(data, url);
            };
        };
    }];

And now, you can post your data from controllers:

app.controller('yourController', ['$scope', 'requestsFactory', function ($scope, requestsFactory) {
    ...
    requestFactory.postData(anyData).success(function (result) {
        // if server send any response    
    }
    ...
}]);

Also you can use $http for GET, PUT, DELETE requests. Click here for more information
