FastAPI Version: 0.79.1 How to Use middlerware to get requet json body

Question

If i use the request.body() method, it's working. But is a byte type, I want get json or dict type data in order to get username and password Key content

async def set_body(request: Request):
    receive_ = await request._receive()

    async def receive() -> Message:
        return receive_

    request._receive = receive

@app.middleware("http")
async def demo(request: Request, call_next):
    await set_body(request)
    jsob_body = await request.json()
    print(jsob_body)
    response = await call_next(request)
    retu**strong text**rn response


import requests

url = "http://127.0.0.1:8000/token"

payload={'username': 'test',
'password': 'test_pw'}
files=[

]
headers = {}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload, files=files)

I am able to get this but there is an error that will break the POST request

Use json instead of data:

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, json=payload, files=files)
