req.body is empty when when header is { 'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token }

I am using Angular 2 as front end. I tried to send an Object { test: 'Hi' }.

When my http header is like this:

 let headers = new Headers({ 'Content-Type': 'application/json' });
 let options = new RequestOptions({ headers: headers });

I can get the content I sent on the server side using req.body.

However, when my http header is like this:

 let headers = new Headers({ 'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token });
 let options = new RequestOptions({ headers: headers });

When I use req.body again, I got an empty Object {}.

My server is using Express.js, and my bodyParser is like this:

app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));

How can I do it correctly? Thanks

You should send both headers to express:

let headers = new Headers({ 
  'Content-Type': 'application/json', 
  'Authorization': 'Bearer ....' 
});
