Fix request body in lambda event

[willcosgrove]

Thanks for building this awesome plugin! It's been really useful. I noticed, as I was writing a function that takes a request body, that the request body is not available in the lambda event. It was just a typo, grabbing the body from the res instead of the req. 😄 Took me a while of staring at it to figure out what was going on.

I'm closing this, because as I worked more on this I discovered this is not a complete fix.

The req.body still does not exist because there is no middleware consuming the body from the network socket. I have a fork which adds the body-parser library and adds the text parser middleware to the chain. But it is not a complete solution, because there's no handling of non text encoded bodies, like things that would get converted to base64 in the lambda environment.

If anyone else is running into this issue, you're welcome to use my branch which is probably fine for most use cases. It just doesn't handle base64 encoding non-text encoded bodies.

yarn add gatsby-plugin-netlify-functions@willcosgrove/gatsby-plugin-netlify-functions#body-fix

or change the version in your package.json like this:

"gatsby-plugin-netlify-functions": "willcosgrove/gatsby-plugin-netlify-functions#body-fix"

Thanks for reporting this error and trying to fix it.
I will try to have a look later and find a way to fix it
