Hashicorp vault: unable to write secret with node-vault

I am writing an application which uses Hashicorp vault to store passwords and certificates. Right now I am using the default username/pass method to authenticate my client app.

When I try to add a secret I am getting { statusCode: 301, body: undefined } when setting the apiVersion = v1 and { statusCode: 404, body: { errors: [] } } when it is set to v2.

Configuration: 

let vaultOptions = {
    apiVersion: 'v2',
    endpoint: '0.0.0.0:8200'
};

const nodeVault = require('node-vault')(vaultOptions);
nodeVault.token = "secret token";

nodeVault.write('/secret/new', {"foo":"bar"}).then(
  function (value: any) {
    console.log(value);
  })
  .catch((err: any)=> {
    console.log(err);
  });

As the vault container is initialised by default I am not using the init function.

I would like to know what am I missing here.

The issue got fixed by adding /data to the path and also the request data had to be inside an object {"data": .....}.

nodeVault.write('/secret/data/new', {"data": {"foo":"bar"}}).then(
  function (value: any) {
    console.log(value);
  })
  .catch((err: any)=> {
    console.log(err);
  });

This was because the vault container was running on v2 engine
