Cannot get any data into any Post method

[ldittel]

I have a very simple controller method

@Post("/register") register(@Req() request: any, @Res() response: any) { console.log(JSON.stringify(request.body)); return ""; }

and I'm trying to pass in some post data using the curl CLI iunder windows:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{ \"email\": \"lergfdl@gmail.com\", \"name\": \"john\", \"password\": \"1\" }" localhost:8080/api/auth/register

Somehow I cannot for the life of me get any of the data to come through i.e. the body is a l w a y s empty.
I have absolutely no idea where the problem is as the @get methods work no problem.

Please advise.
Thansk you so much.

Right, so it turned out to be partially an express.js issue - where the bodyParser needs to be registered in the right order to other middlware e.g. router. I have opted to switch from createExpressServer() to useExpressServer() to have more control of the initialization process. I suspect the createES() method has an issue somewhere.

Anyway, hope it;ll help someone as I was going a little bit mad.

Express 4.x is modular so you need to have eg. body-parser and cookie-parser installed and loaded explicitly by yourself. It's not routing-controllers fault, it's just how the express behave itself, so I think the issue could be closed now.

That is correct. Thanks for the input.
