Examples

Vanilla

import { serve } from 'https://deno.land/std@0.89.0/http/server.ts'
import { json, ReqWithBody } from 'https://deno.land/x/parsec/mod.ts'

const s = serve({ port: 3000 })

for await (const req of s) {
  await json(req, undefined, (err) => {
    if (err) req.respond({ status: 400, body: err.message })
    else req.respond({ status: 204 })
  })
  if (!(req as ReqWithBody).requestBody) {
    req.respond({ status: 404, body: 'No body found' })
  } else {
    const response = JSON.stringify((req as ReqWithBody).requestBody, null, 2)
    req.respond({ body: response })
  }
}

tinyhttp

import { App, Request } from 'https://deno.land/x/tinyhttp/mod.ts'
import { json, ReqWithBody } from 'https://deno.land/x/parsec/mod.ts'

const app = new App<unknown, Request & ReqWithBody>()

app
  .use(json)
  .post((req, res) => {
    res.send(req.requestBody || {})
  })
  .listen(3000, () => console.log(`Started on :3000`))

Opine

import { opine } from 'https://deno.land/x/opine/mod.ts'
import { json } from 'https://deno.land/x/parsec/mod.ts'

const app = opine()

app
  .use(json)
  .post('/', (req, res) => {
    res.send(req.parsedBody || {})
  })
  .listen(3000, () => console.log(`Started on :3000`))

Oak

import { Application } from 'https://deno.land/x/oak/mod.ts'
import { json, ReqWithBody } from 'https://deno.land/x/parsec/mod.ts'

const app = new Application()

app
  .use((ctx, next) => json(ctx.request.serverRequest, undefined, next))
  .use((ctx) => {
    if (ctx.request.method === 'POST') {
      ctx.response.body = (ctx.request.serverRequest as ReqWithBody).parsedBody
    }
  })

await app.listen({ port: 3000 })

Then run:

curl -X POST localhost:3000 -d '{ "abc": "def" }' -H "Content-Type: application/json"
