Viewsaxios post request to send form data
axios POST request is hitting the url on the controller but setting null values to my POJO class, when I go through developer tools in chrome, the payload contains data. What am I doing wrong?
Axios POST Request:
var body = {
userName: 'Fred',
userEmail: 'Flintstone@gmail.com'
}
axios({
method: 'post',
url: '/addUser',
data: body
})
.then(function (response) {
console.log(response);
})
.catch(function (error) {
console.log(error);
});
Browser Response:
If I set headers as:
headers:{
Content-Type:'multipart/form-data'
}
The request throws the error
Error in posting multipart/form-data. Content-Type header is missing boundary
If I make the same request in postman it's working fine and sets values to my POJO class.
Can anyone explain how to set boundary or how can I send form data using axios.

You can post axios data by using FormData() like:
var bodyFormData = new FormData();
And then add the fields to the form you want to send:
bodyFormData.append('userName', 'Fred');
If you are uploading images, you may want to use .append
bodyFormData.append('image', imageFile);
And then you can use axios post method (You can amend it accordingly)
axios({
method: "post",
url: "myurl",
data: bodyFormData,
headers: { "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data" },
})
.then(function (response) {
//handle success
console.log(response);
})
.catch(function (response) {
//handle error
console.log(response);
});

In my case I had to add the boundary to the header like the following:
const form = new FormData();
form.append(item.name, fs.createReadStream(pathToFile));
const response = await axios({
method: 'post',
url: 'http://www.yourserver.com/upload',
data: form,
headers: {
'Content-Type': `multipart/form-data; boundary=${form._boundary}`,
},
});
This solution is also useful if you're working with React Native.

Check out querystring.
You can use it as follows:
var querystring = require('querystring');
axios.post('http://something.com/', querystring.stringify({ foo: 'bar' }));
