so I was making a RESTful API and I wanted to be able to receive raw json data (so I can use my api for mobile too), then from there save the data into my database (mongoDB).
But you see, there is this problem which I can’t seem to fix and its that I’m not able to use the raw data as a json.
The code is simple
const express = require('express')
const bodyParser = require('body-parser')
const app = express();
app.use(bodyParser.raw({inflate:true, limit: '100kb', type: 'application/json'});
app.post('/post', function(req, res){
res.send(parse.JSON(req.body));
//to convert it to json but this doesn't seem to work
})
PS. I’m using postman to send the request as raw format
>Solution :
const express = require('express')
const bodyParser = require('body-parser')
const app = express();
app.use(bodyParser.raw({inflate:true, limit: '100kb', type: 'application/json'});
app.post('/post', function(req, res){
res.send(JSON.parse(req.body));
})
inside the res.send you have to use JSON.parse() instead of parse.JSON() which will throw an error as it is not correct
