Its my first time trying to do a POST request with Postman using Koa in my application. I have the router and the body parser but for some reason i still get an error message sayng that my request body is undefined. I think the body parser is not working but i have no idea why.
routes.js
const Koa = require('koa');
const bodyParser = require('koa-body')
const Router = require('koa-router')
const app = new Koa()
const router = new Router()
const Topic = require('./models/topic')
router.post('/topics', bodyParser(), async (ctx) => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(ctx.request.body))
const { name } = ctx.request.body
newPost = {
name: {name}
}
let newTopic = new Topic(newPost)
await newTopic.save(function(error, newPost){
if (error) {
console.log(error)
} else {
res.status(201).json({
message : 'Name added!'
}).send(newPost)
}
})
return
})
app
.use(router.allowedMethods())
.use(router.routes())
module.exports = router
topic.js
const mongoose = require('mongoose')
const Schema = mongoose.Schema
const TopicSchema = new Schema(
{
name: {type: String, required: true },
viewCount: {type: Number, default: 0 }
},
{
timestamps: true
}
)
module.exports = mongoose.model('two/Topic', TopicSchema)
Error message:
{}
Error: two/Topic validation failed: name: Cast to string failed for value "{ name: undefined }" at path "name"
at ValidationError.inspect (/home/node/app/node_modules/mongoose/lib/error/validation.js:47:26) ...
EDIT Also adding in server.js for further reference
const Koa = require('koa');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const router = require('./routes');
const app = new Koa();
app.use(require('koa-body')());
app.use(router.routes());
mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGODB_URI, { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true })
.then(() => {
const listener = app.listen(process.env.APP_PORT || 3000, () =>
console.log('App started on port ' + listener.address().port)
)
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log(error)
process.exit(1)
})
// app.proxy = true;
module.exports = app;
