Passing headers with axios POST request

I have written an axios POST request as recommended from the npm package documentation like:

var data = {
    'key1': 'val1',
    'key2': 'val2'
}
axios.post(Helper.getUserAPI(), data)       
.then((response) => {
    dispatch({type: FOUND_USER, data: response.data[0]})
})
.catch((error) => {
    dispatch({type: ERROR_FINDING_USER})
})

And it works, but now I have modified my backend API to accept headers.

Content-Type: 'application/json'

Authorization: 'JWT fefege...'

Now, this request works fine on Postman, but when writing an axios call, I follow this link and can't quite get it to work.

I am constantly getting 400 BAD Request error.

Here is my modified request:

axios.post(Helper.getUserAPI(), {
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Authorization': 'JWT fefege...'
    },
    data
})      
.then((response) => {
    dispatch({type: FOUND_USER, data: response.data[0]})
})
.catch((error) => {
    dispatch({type: ERROR_FINDING_USER})
})

Any help is greatly appreciated.

When using axios, in order to pass custom headers, supply an object containing the headers as the last argument

Modify your axios request like:

const headers = {
  'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  'Authorization': 'JWT fefege...'
}

axios.post(Helper.getUserAPI(), data, {
    headers: headers
  })
  .then((response) => {
    dispatch({
      type: FOUND_USER,
      data: response.data[0]
    })
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    dispatch({
      type: ERROR_FINDING_USER
    })
  })

Here is a full example of an axios.post request with custom headers

var postData = {
  email: "test@test.com",
  password: "password"
};

let axiosConfig = {
  headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=UTF-8',
      "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",
  }
};

axios.post('http://<host>:<port>/<path>', postData, axiosConfig)
.then((res) => {
  console.log("RESPONSE RECEIVED: ", res);
})
.catch((err) => {
  console.log("AXIOS ERROR: ", err);
})

Shubham answer didn't work for me.

When you are using axios library and to pass custom headers, you need to construct headers as an object with key name "headers". The headers key should contain an object, here it is Content-Type and Authorization.

Below example is working fine.

    var headers = {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Authorization': 'JWT fefege...' 
    }
    axios.post(Helper.getUserAPI(), data, {"headers" : headers})

        .then((response) => {
            dispatch({type: FOUND_USER, data: response.data[0]})
        })
        .catch((error) => {
            dispatch({type: ERROR_FINDING_USER})
        })

Json has to be formatted with double quotes

Like:

headers: {
                "Content-Type": "application/Jason",
                "Authorization": "JWT fefege..."
            }

Not just:

headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
                'Authorization': 'JWT fefege...'
         }

Or, if you are using some property from vuejs prototype that can't be read on creation you can also define headers and write i.e.

storePropertyMaxSpeed(){
                axios.post('api/property', {
                    "property_name" : 'max_speed',
                    "property_amount" : this.newPropertyMaxSpeed
                    },
                    {headers :  {'Content-Type': 'application/json',
                                'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + this.$gate.token()}})
                  .then(() => { //this below peace of code isn't important 
                    Event.$emit('dbPropertyChanged');

                    $('#addPropertyMaxSpeedModal').modal('hide');

                    Swal.fire({
                        position: 'center',
                        type: 'success',
                        title: 'Nova brzina unešena u bazu',
                        showConfirmButton: false,
                        timer: 1500
                        })
                })
                .catch(() => {
                     Swal.fire("Neuspješno!", "Nešto je pošlo do đavola", "warning");
                })
            }
        },
