While working with a MongoDB serverless function, I faced a challenge in extracting data from the request body. This led to unexpected errors that needed to be resolved for proper data handling.
Upon my attempt to retrieve data from the request body using body.Data, an error was triggered. Despite having data in the body, accessing it through this method resulted in an error.
I encountered difficulties while trying to extract data from the request body, causing errors to occur. To tackle this issue, I tried separating the retrieval of body data.
Below is the code snippet I utilized for my MongoDB serverless function:
The issue lies in accessing data from the body
Sample code for the MongoDB serverless function
exports = async function({ query, headers, body }, response) {
const bodyData = body.Data;
return { body, bodyData };
};
An error arises when attempting to fetch data using body.Data
`
{
"body": {
"Subtype": 0,
"Data": "W3sNCiAgImV4Y2VycHQiOiAiTmV3IEV4Y2VycHQiLA0KICAiZGVzY3JpcHRpb24iOiAiTmV3IERlc2NyaXB0aW9uIiwNCiAgImltYWdlVXJsMSI6ICJodHRwczovL2V4YW1wbGUuY29tL2ltYWdlLmpwZyIsDQogICJpbWFnZVVybDIiOiAiaHR0cHM6Ly9leGFtcGxlLmNvbS9pbWFnZTIuanBnIiwNCiAgImltYWdlVXJsMyI6ICJodHRwczovL2V4YW1wbGUuY29tL2ltYWdlMy5qcGciLA0KICAiZGF0ZSI6ICIyMDIzLTA3LTE0IiwNCiAgImNhdGVnb3J5IjogIlRlY2hub2xvZ3kiLA0KICAidHJlbmRpbmciOiB0cnVlLA0KICAidG9wUGljayI6IGZhbHNlLA0KICAicG9wdWxhciI6IHRydWUNCn1d"
},
"bodyData": {}
}
`
Although there is data present in the body, trying to access it using body.Data
is resulting in an error
