I build nestjs project with microservices and I'm trying to send body data from HTTP method "delete" and get the data from req.body. that data is arrive empty.
nestjs project
await this.httpServiceInstance
.delete(`deleteData`, {
data,
})
microservice project
routes
app.delete("/deleteData", endpoint(deleteData));
function deleteData
module.exports = async (req) => { console.log(req.body) /* more code*/ }
it's print empty object {}
Please set $httpProvider in your config this way:
$httpProvider.defaults.headers.delete = { "Content-Type": "application/json;charset=utf-8" };
and then call delete request:
await this.httpServiceInstance
.delete(`xxxxx`, {
data,
})
I think you're using express, although I don't see it explicitly stated. It needs a body parser, for example:
const express = require('express')
const app = express();
const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
// parse body as JSON, puts object into req.body
app.use(express.json());
app.route('/deleteData')
.all((req, res) => {
console.log(req.method, req.body);
res.json(req.body);
});
app.listen(port, function() {
console.log('Server started on port: ' + port);
});
Start the server, then test:
curl -X DELETE --data '{"foo": "bar"}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' http://localhost:3000/deleteData
Server console shows: DELETE { foo: 'bar' }, returns {"foo":"bar"} to the client.
this.httpServiceInstance?
