Had this working in version 1, but the whole server config has changed. This is what I have, after adding bodyparser() to the express app as was suggested by Daniel in the comments:
const server = new ApolloServer({
typeDefs,
resolvers,
playground: {
settings: {
'editor.theme': 'light',
}
},
})
// Initialize the app
const app = express();
app.use(cors())
app.use(bodyParser.json())
server.applyMiddleware({
app
})
app.post('/calc', function(req, res){
const {body} = req;
console.log("HOWDYHOWDYHOWDY", body) // <== body is {}
res.setHeader('content-type', 'application/json')
calculate(body)
.then(result => res.send(result))
.catch(e => res.status(400).send({error: e.toString()}))
})
The request body is never making it to the app.post handler, though the handler is called. I see it going out from the browser, though. Any ideas?
Update: Daniel had the correct answer, but I had another problem in the request headers I was using. Once I fixed that, then the post handler received the body.
Apollo's middleware applies the bodyparser middleware specifically to the GraphQL endpoint -- it won't affect any other routes your server exposes. In order to correctly populate req.body
, you need to add the bodyparser middleware yourself, for example:
app.use(bodyParser.json())
app.post('/calc', routeHandler)
// or...
app.post('/calc', bodyParser.json(), routeHandler)
