body data not sent in axios request

Question

I am trying to send data through axios request to my backend script, but the body looks empty.

Here\'s a request sent from front-end:

axios.request({

It looks like you only have two points left to make it work :

• one : the http method should be set to POST instead of GET since you want to send something.

• two : you can then add the http header (like what you did with the authorization header) Content-Type: 'application/json`

On the back-end don't forget to use some kind of body parser utility package like this one : body-parser and set it up with your app.

I suppose your server is using express, here is how you will do it with express :

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const bodyParser = require('body-parser')
const jsonParser = bodyParser.json();

app.use(jsonParser); // use it globally
app.get('your_route', jsonParser, otherMiddleware, (req, res) => ...); // use it for specific routes

/* ... rest of your code */
