Can not get parameter from req.body with POST request in Azure NodeJS AppService

Question

Hi

My Windows Azure NodeJS AppService can not get parameter from req.body. I am using Express 4.17 with body-parser. Every time I post a request with body data (example: {"uid":"12345"}) with server-side code

router.post('/abc', function (req, res) {
var uid = req.body.uid;
});

This code worked normally on local but in Windows Azure NodeJS AppService, uid is always Undefined or Null
How can I fix this problem ? Thank you very much.

Hi @繁伸 松尾 ,

Since your code is server side, have you tried remote debugging your application? I did come across https://stackoverflow.com/a/13779626/10987310, which contains an example of using body-parser. I've confirmed this does indeed work on a Windows hosted App Service running NodeJS 12LTS.

I used the following code.

var express = require('express');  
var bodyParser = require('body-parser')  
var router = express.Router();  
  
var jsonParser = bodyParser.json();  
  
/* GET users listing. */  
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {  
  res.send('respond with a resource');  
});  
  
router.post('/one', jsonParser, function(req, res){  
  console.log(JSON.stringify(req.body));  
  res.send(req.body.name);  
});  
  
module.exports = router;
