I have a function that I am using axios to post data to nodeJS rest api. The problem that I am having is that axios added post a list with the object instead of just the array object. Please help me fix this.
The function receives the follow from "documents"
{
_id: '6149290b197615d32c515dab',
instantMessage: false,
isComplete: true,
},
{
_id: '614a249636503d7aa9fb138d',
instantMessage: false,
isComplete: true,
},
{
_id: '614a2bf5560184026def253a',
date: '2021-09-21',
title: 'Not getting erro',
},
{
_id: '614a2c6a560184026def253d',
date: '2021-09-21',
title: 'Every thing working',
}
my function is as follow:
async function SaveAsTemplate(documents) {
const result = await axios
.post('http:localhost/templates', {
documents,
})
.catch(function (error) {
// handle error
console.warn(error.message);
});
return result;
}
in my nodeJS project where the query is received I am console.log the data and I am getting the follow results:
documents: [
{
_id: '6149290b197615d32c515dab',
instantMessage: false,
isComplete: true,
},
{
_id: '614a249636503d7aa9fb138d',
instantMessage: false,
isComplete: true,
},
{
_id: '614a2bf5560184026def253a',
date: '2021-09-21',
title: 'Not getting erro',
},
{
_id: '614a2c6a560184026def253d',
date: '2021-09-21',
title: 'Every thing working',
}
]
How can I use axios where it only give me the object without documents in front. When I use Postman and other tools to send query to post I do not have this problem everything come out correct. Only have issues when using axios
You're doing
const result = await axios
.post('http:localhost/templates', {
documents,
})
which is the same as:
const result = await axios
.post('http:localhost/templates', {
documents: documents,
})
try:
const result = await axios
.post('http:localhost/templates', documents)
async function SaveAsTemplate(documents) {
const result = await axios
.post('http:localhost/templates', {
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: documents,
})
.catch(function (error) {
// handle error
console.warn(error.message);
});
return result;
}
or you can try to change array to object first and then you assign on body post
