I am building an app that sends json in an NSMutableURLRequest to a server where i have Node and Express running.
The JSON payload is getting printed out in node looking like this:
{ '{"firstName":"Scotty","lastName":"Lastname","profileId":"123454321234"}': '' }
My node code looks like this
var http = require("http");
var express = require("express");
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var mongoose = require("mongoose");
var remote_db_url = require('./database.js');
mongoose.connect(remote_db_url.url);
var user = require('./user.model.js');
var app = express();
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
extended: true
}));
var user_data = new user();
app.post("/account/login", function(req,res)
{
var user = req.body;
console.log("user is: "+ user);
console.log("firstname is: " + user.firstName);
user_data.save(function(err,suc) {
if (err)
res.json({"status" : 400,"error":"Bad request"});
else
res.json({"status":200,"id" : suc.id });
});
});
The console log statements show like this:
user is: { '{"firstName":"Scotty","lastName":"Lastname","profileId":"123454321234"}': '' }
firstname is: undefined
I proxied through charles and can confirm the payload looks like this:
POST /account/login HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Connection: keep-alive
Accept: */*
User-Agent: test/1 CFNetwork/711.1.12 Darwin/14.0.0
Accept-Language: en-us
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Content-Length: 79
Host: 192.168.1.4:3000
{"firstName":"Scotty","lastName":"Lastname","profileId":"123454321234"}
I cant seem to get the json parsed correctly. Any ideas here?
