I'm facing an issue with sending data to my MongoDB database. When using router.post, my req.body appears empty. However, if I replace req.body with the data from my send function like User(req.body), the data is successfully sent to MongoDB.
Below is the router code that I'm working with. The router.get works perfectly, returning the database tables correctly on the /api page:
const router = require("express").Router();
const User = require("./model/models");
const parser = require("body-parser").json();
router.get("/", async (req, res) => {
const data = await User.find({});
res.json(data);
});
router.post("/", parser, async (req, res) => {
console.log('1');
console.log(req.body);
console.log('2');
parser.v;
await User(req.body).save();
res.json({"msg": "ok"});
});
module.exports = router
Here is the code from my index.js:
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const parser = require("body-parser").json();
var path = require('path');
app.use(express.urlencoded(true));
app.use(express.json());
app.use(parser);
app.use('/',require("./routes/routes"));
app.use(express.static(__dirname +'/public'));
app.use("/api", require('./data/api'));
app.listen(5000,function(){
console.log('server is alive')
})
This is the function I use for sending data:
const btn1 = document.getElementById('btnEnter');
let Login = "123";
btn1.addEventListener('click' ,e =>{
send({newsTxT : "someTextHere", newsZag: "someZag", author: "SomeAuthor"})
});
const send = async(body) => {
let res = await fetch("/api", {
method: "post",
header: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Accept": "application/json"
},
body: JSON.stringify(body)
});
let data = await res.json();
console.log(data);
}
