How to get data from serializedArray ... (ResourceController)?

Hi,

If I pass data from the client using:

Code:

(ajax) ...

data: $(formData).serializeArray();
...

I can easily update a record accessing the data like this:

Code:

$data = $this->request->getRawInput();

passing it to the model like this:

Code:

$this->model->update($id, $data);

If I wrap that in an object along other data like this:

Code:

_data = {
    formData: $(formData).serializeArray(),
    other: other_data
};

(ajax) ...

data = _data;
...

And try to access the data on the server doing this:

Code:

$data = $this->request->getRawInput();

$this->model->update($id, $data["formData"]);

It explodes. Now, I've tried fiddling with the format in the ways I can think of ... no luck.

Can someone explain why I cannot access the data anymore just because I give it a 'level deeper' ... I don't get it?

---

By the way; I am aware, that I pass an object in the second version and an array in the first ... but no matter HOW I try do json_decode/encode I simply cannot pass the data to the update method on the model ... I can var_dump the result just fine ... but 'something' is happening during the pass to the model (I guess).

---

When I check the output I see some difference ... but cannot figure out where the 'difference' happens. Notice the indexes ( [0] => etc ) in the NOT WORKING OUTPUT.

WORKING OUTPUT:

Code:

responseText: "array(3) {\n
  [\"name\"]=>\n
  string(12) \"My Home page\"\n
  [\"title\"]=>\n
  string(12) \"Saving title\"\n
  [\"content\"]=>\n
  string(18) \"Saving content …\"\n
}\n

RESPONSE:
{\"id\":\"1\",\"name\":\"My Home page\",\"title\":\"Saving title\",\"content\":\"Saving content …\",\"created_at\":\"2020-10-21 20:53:27\",\"updated_at\":null,\"deleted_at\":null}"

NOT WORKING OUTPUT:

Code:

responseText: "array(3) {\n
  [0]=>\n
  array(2) {\n
    [\"name\"]=>\n
    string(4) \"name\"\n
    [\"value\"]=>\n
    string(12) \"My Home page\"\n
  }\n
  [1]=>\n
  array(2) {\n
    [\"name\"]=>\n
    string(5) \"title\"\n
    [\"value\"]=>\n
    string(13) \"Saving titlen\"\n
  }\n
  [2]=>\n
  array(2) {\n
    [\"name\"]=>\n
    string(7) \"content\"\n
    [\"value\"]=>\n
    string(18) \"Saving content …\"\n
  }\n
}\n

RESPONSE:
\"Resource not updated\""

When I inspect the output, I see that there is a difference, but I am unable to determine the specific location where the 'difference' occurs. Take note of the indices ([0] => etc.) that are present in the output that is not functioning properly.
