Serializing empty array field
zanderle opened this issue · comments
Say you have a select
element with no options selected:
<select name="myArray[]">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
</select>
Would it be possible to have the result include an empty array? So something like:
$('select').serializeJSON({someOptionToControlThisBehavior: true});
// {myArray: []}
I'm also happy to do a PR if this is not implemented, if you just point me in the general direction.
This issue is duplicated of #37
There's currently no option to identify empty select tags. But you can use an extra hidden field just like you would do with unchecked checkboxes:
<input name="myArray:array" type="hidden" value="[]" />
<select name="myArray[]" multiple >
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
</select>
$('input,select').serializeJSON();
