body parser example

Example 1: body parser express

//make sure it is in this order
npm i body-parser

const express = require('express')
const bodyParser = require('body-parser')

const app = express()

// parse application/x-www-form-urlencoded
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }))

// parse application/json
app.use(bodyParser.json())

app.use(function (req, res) {
  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain')
  res.write('you posted:\n')
  res.end(JSON.stringify(req.body, null, 2))
})

Example 2: body-parser npm

$ npm install body-parser

Example 3: parse json express

// Update for Express 4.16+
// Starting with release 4.16.0, a new express.json() middleware is available.
var express = require('express');
var app = express();

app.use(express.json());

app.post('/', function(request, response){
  console.log(request.body);      // your JSON
   response.send(request.body);    // echo the result back
});

app.listen(3000);

Example 4: body-parser node

// Express/Connect top-level generic
// This example demonstrates adding a generic JSON and URL-encoded parser as a top-level middleware, which will parse the bodies of all incoming requests. 
// This is the simplest setup.

var express = require('express')
var bodyParser = require('body-parser') 
var app = express() 

// parse application/x-www-form-urlencoded
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false })) 

// parse application/json
app.use(bodyParser.json()) 

app.use(function (req, res) {
  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain')  
  res.write('you posted:\n')  
res.end(JSON.stringify(req.body, null, 2))})

Example 5: body parser

var express = require('express')
  var bodyParser = require('body-parser')
  var app = express()
  // parseapplication/x-www-form-urlencoded
  app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }))
  // parse application/json
  app.use(bodyParser.json()) app.use(function (req, res) {  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain')  res.write('you posted:\n')  res.end(JSON.stringify(req.body, null, 2))})
