I have this post request that is being initiated in the frontend:
const response = await fetch("http://localhost:5000/createUser", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify({
email: user.email,
}),
});
And here in my express/node backend, I am only logging the request body:
app.post('/createUser', async (req, res) => {
try {
console.log('Request body:', req.body);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error creating user:', error);
}
});
However, this is what is logged to the console:
Request body: undefined
I am unsure why this is occurring. I have GET requests that work perfectly fine, and this is the only POST I am doing. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
I'm almost sure that you forgot to use json parser in you server
app.use(express.json())
