I am trying to send data from react to express server.
React code:
const imageRenderer = async () => {
const res = await axios({
method: "post",
url: "http://localhost:8080/previewRender",
data: selectedFile.filePaths,
});
console.log(res.data);
};
Express code:
app.post("/previewRender", (req, res) => {
var fileLocation = req.body;
console.log(fileLocation);
});
However in console the filelocation is shown as undefined. selectedFile.filePaths is of type object. Can't I send object to express?
Add this in app.js (app.js) or your root file of the app to post req
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
Put this middleware in app.js above your routes...
Did you use app.use(express.json()) in your app.js?
