How to force parse request body as plain text instead of json in Express?

Question

I am using nodejs + Express (v3) like this:

app.use(express.bodyParser());
app.route(\'/some/route\', function(req, res) {
  var text = req.body; // I expect         


        

Answer 1

I did it:

router.route('/')
.post(function(req,res){
    var chunk = '';

    req.on('data', function(data){
        chunk += data; // here you get your raw data.
    })        

    req.on('end', function(){

        console.log(chunk); //just show in console
    })
    res.send(null);

})
