Dears, have an issue. When posting an axios request to flask server with a parameter, the parameter is not received by flask.

Axios : 0.18 React : 16.3.2 Redux : 4

Here is code where the issue is located:

confirm: token =>
      axios
          .post("/api/auth/confirmation", { token })
          .then(res => res.data.user),

the variable token is not empty. Even if replace it by a fix value (e.g 2323232), I get a 405 response form API 

  axios
      .post("/api/auth/confirmation", "2323232")
      .then(res => res.data.user),

the flask servers responds status 405, because in fact it receives the url, but not the value of the parameter:

127.0.0.1 - - [24/May/2018 16:21:14] "POST /api/auth/confirmation HTTP/1.1" 405 -

But if the value is included in the URL, then there is no issue:

  axios
      .post("/api/auth/confirmation/2323232")
      .then(res => res.data.user),

result is fine :

127.0.0.1 - - [24/May/2018 16:04:01] "POST /api/auth/confirmation/2323232 HTTP/1.1" 200 -

What am I doing wrong here ?

Ps : flask backend code is very simple:

@app.route('/api/auth/confirmation/<token>',methods=['POST'])
def confirmation(token):
    return jsonify({'user':'ok'}),200

Instead of:

@app.route('/api/auth/confirmation/<token>',methods=['POST'])

you should use something like:

from flask import request 

@app.route('/api/auth/confirmation/',methods=['POST'])
def confirmation():
    token = request.get_json()['token']
    # ... rest of code ...
