Question

https://codeforgeek.com/2014/07/angular-post-request-php/
Hi I was following the above link to give post request from angular js to node js. I received the data posted in below format when i give
console.log(req.body);
{ '{"email":"test#test.com","pass":"password"}': '' }
and when i try to get the value as below, it says undefined.
var email = req.body.email;
console.log(email);
I am unable to get the value of email and pass. Thank you

Answer 1

change the client side header code to headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }

Answer 2

Your Angular code is sending JSON data, but your Express app is parsing it as URL encoded data.
You probably have something like this in your Express app:
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
...
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded());
That last line should be:
app.use(bodyParser.json());

Answer 3

You did not well explain the problem , please next time try to post a bigger part of your code so we could understand what you wanted to do / to say .
To answer your question i will copy/paste a part of my code that enable you to receive a post request from your frontend application(angularJS) to your backend application (NodeJS), and another function that enable you to do the inverse send a post request from nodeJS to another application (that might consume it):
1) receive a request send from angularJS or whatever inside your nodeJS app
//Import the necessary libraries/declare the necessary objects
var express = require("express");
var myParser = require("body-parser");
var app = express();
// we will need the following imports for the inverse operation
var https = require('https')
var querystring = require('querystring')
// we need these variables for the post request:
var Vorname ;
var Name ;
var e_mail ;
var Strasse ;
app.use(myParser.urlencoded({extended : true}));
// the post request is send from http://localhost:8080/yourpath
app.post("/yourpath", function(request, response ) {
// test the post request
if (!request.body) return res.sendStatus(400);
// fill the variables with the user data
Vorname =request.body.Vorname;
Name =request.body.Name;
e_mail =request.body.e_mail;
Strasse =request.body.Strasse;
response.status(200).send(request.body.title);
});
2) Do the inverse send a POST request from a nodeJS application to another application
function sendPostRequest()
{
// prepare the data that we are going to send to anymotion
var jsonData = querystring.stringify({
"Land": "Land",
"Vorname": "Vorname",
"Name": "Name",
"Strasse": Strasse,
});
var post_options = {
host: 'achref.gassoumi.de',
port: '443',
method: 'POST',
path: '/api/mAPI',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
'Content-Length': jsonData.length
}
};
// request object
var post_req = https.request(post_options, function(res) {
var result = '';
res.on('data', function (chunk) {
result += chunk;
console.log(result);
});
res.on('end', function () {
// show the result in the console : the thrown result in response of our post request
console.log(result);
});
res.on('error', function (err) {
// show possible error while receiving the result of our post request
console.log(err);
})
});
post_req.on('error', function (err) {
// show error if the post request is not succeed
console.log(err);
});
// post the data
post_req.write(jsonData);
post_req.end();
// ps : I used a https post request , you could use http if you want but you have to change the imported library and some stuffs in the code
}
So finally , I hope this answer will helps anyone who is looking on how to get a post request in node JS and how to send a Post request from nodeJS application.
For further details about how to receive a post request please read the npm documentation for body-parser library : npm official website documentation
I hope you enjoyed this and Viel spaß(have fun in german language).
