I am getting form data in this form
'------WebKitFormBoundarysw7YYuBGKjAewMhe\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name': '"a"\r\n\r\nb\r\n------WebKitFormBoundarysw7YYuBGKjAewMhe--\r\n
I'm trying to find a middleware that will allow me to access the form data like:
req.body.a // -> 'b'
I've tried
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
// parse application/x-www-form-urlencoded
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }))
Is there a problem with my implementation or am I not using the correct middleware?
The tool that worked was multiparty
app.post('/endpoint', function (req, res) {
var form = new multiparty.Form();
form.parse(req, function(err, fields, files) {
// fields fields fields
});
})
The library which worked for me was express-formidable. Clean, fast and supports multipart requests too.
Here is code from their docs
Install with:
npm install -S express-formidable
Here is sample usage:
const express = require('express');
const formidable = require('express-formidable');
var app = express();
app.use(formidable());
app.post('/upload', (req, res) => {
req.fields; // contains non-file fields
req.files; // contains files
});
