req.body is undefined in express 4.13.1 - angularjs

Question

i have a problem and i don't know the problem. Please, help me to find the solution.
In the Angular view i have:
<form ng-submit="submit()">
<input ng-model="stickie_text" type="text" id="sticky_content" />
<button type="submit" id="add_sticky" value="add a new stickie!">new sticky</button>
In the client side (AngularJS) i have this controller:
dcuApp.controller('rankingController', ['$scope', '$http',function($scope, $http) {$scope.submit = function(){
// console.log("holaaaa");
console.log($scope.stickie_text);
$http.get('/api/get-ranking',{"valor":$scope.stickie_text}).then(function(response) {
$scope.data = response.data;
console.log("RANKING: "+$scope.data);
},
function(response) {
console.debug('Error:' + response);
});
};
}]);
In the server side (Express 4.13.1) i have:
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var db = require('../model/db');
var model = require('../model/model');
var fs = require('fs');
var async = require('async');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var methodOverride = require('method-override'); //used to manipulate POST
router.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }))
router.use(methodOverride(function(req, res){
if (req.body && typeof req.body === 'object' && '_method' in req.body) {
// look in urlencoded POST bodies and delete it
var method = req.body._method
delete req.body._method
return method
}
}));
router.get('/api/get-ranking',function(req,res,next){
console.log(req.body.valor);
});
The problem is that req.body.valor is UNDEFINED.
I know there are other postings that relate to this problem, but have not managed to fix it.
Please, I need help to get on the server side, a different req.body.valor to undefined
thanks!!! :)

Answer 1

You are trying to do a GET request and send data along with it. You need to use POST request to achieve what you want. You cannot send data in a GET request.
You need to change your current GET method to POST.
Replace :
router.get('/api/get-ranking',function(req,res,next){
console.log(req.body.valor);
});
with
router.post('/api/get-ranking',function(req,res,next){
console.log(req.body.valor);
});
also,
Replace :
$http.get('/api/get-ranking',{"valor":$scope.stickie_text})
with:
$http.post('/api/get-ranking',{"valor":$scope.stickie_text})
Hope this helps.
