My req.body gives me null value.How can I get the values so that I can store it in the db.So when I am refreshing the page the data gets away because the fields are not present in the db.
.js file
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var methodOverride = require('method-override');
var morgan = require('morgan');
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
var cors = require('cors');
mongoose.set('debug', true);
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/contactlist');
app.use(morgan('dev'));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({'extended':'true'}));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.json({type:'application/vnd.api+json'}));
app.use(methodOverride());
app.use(cors());
app.use(function(req,res,next){
res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin","*");
res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "DELETE,PUT");
res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin,X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept");
next();
});
var contactSchema = mongoose.Schema({
name:String,
email:String,
number:Number,
address:String
});
var Contact = mongoose.model("Contact", contactSchema);
//Routers
//get
app.get('/contacts',function(req,res){
console.log('inside get router fetching the contacts');
Contact.find(function(err, contacts){
if(err)
res.send(err);
res.json(contacts);
});
});
//post---->get
app.post('/contacts',function(req,res){
console.log('creating the contacts');
if(!req.body.name || !req.body.email || !req.body.number || !req.body.address){
// res.render('show_message', {message: "Sorry, you provided worng info"});
console.log('information not provided');
console.log(req.body.name); //undefined
console.log(req.body.email); //undefined
console.log(req.body.number); //undefined
}
else{
Contact.create({
name:req.body.name,
email:req.body.email,
number:req.body.number,
address:req.body.address,
done: false
},function(err,contact){
if(err)
res.send(err);
Contact.find({},function(err,contact){
if(err)
res.send(err);
res.json(contact);
});
});
}
});
app.listen(8080);
console.log('App listening on port 8080');
