I have following code on Node.js:
app.post('/register', function(req, res) {
console.log(req.body);
But it appears that req object does not have body property.
With angular2 I am sending stringified JSON with Content-Type:application/json
Angular code looks like this:
this.http.post(
"http://url.com",
JSON.stringify(data_obj), {headers:{'Content-Type':
'application/json'}}).subscribe((res:Response) => this.extractData(res));
Thanks
The NodeJS application does not have bodyParser so it is unable to parse the body of the request. Do this in your NodeJS application
Install body-parser
npm install body-parser --save
Add to nodeJS app
var express = require('express')
var bodyParser = require('body-parser')
var app = express()
// parse application/x-www-form-urlencoded
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }))
You have to use the body parser middleware in your app:
https://github.com/expressjs/body-parser
you can install it with this command: npm install body-parser --save
for example you can write this code to your main file:
let bodyParser = require('body-parser')
app.use(bodyParser.json())
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }))
This is a basic configuration for the body parser middleware, it parse POST parameters into req.body.
If you want to learn more about the configurations of body parser, read the associate doc into the github repo.
