POST data with request module on Node.JS

This module is 'request

I think i'm following every step but i'm missing an argument..

var request = require('request'); request.post({ url: ' body: "mes=heydude" }, function(error, response, body){ console.log(body); }); 

on the other end i have

echo $_POST['mes']; 

And i know the php isn't wrong...

EDIT: You should check out Needle. It does this for you and supports multipart data, and a lot more.

I figured out I was missing a header

var request = require('request'); request.post({ headers: {'content-type' : 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}, url: ' body: "mes=heydude" }, function(error, response, body){ console.log(body); }); 

When using request for an http POST you can add parameters this way:

var request = require('request'); request.post({ url: ' form: { mes: "heydude" } }, function(error, response, body){ console.log(body); }); 

I had to post key value pairs without form and I could do it easily like below:

var request = require('request'); request({ url: ' method: 'POST', json: {mes: 'heydude'} }, function(error, response, body){ console.log(body); }); 

If you're posting a json body, dont use the form parameter. Using form will make the arrays into field[0].attribute, field[1].attribute etc. Instead use body like so.

var jsonDataObj = {'mes': 'hey dude', 'yo': ['im here', 'and here']}; request.post({ url: ' body: jsonDataObj, json: true }, function(error, response, body){ console.log(body); }); 

var request = require('request'); request.post(' {form:{ mes: "heydude" }}, function(error, response, body){ console.log(body); }); 

1. Install request module, using npm install request

2. In code:

   var request = require('request'); var data = '{ "request" : "msg", "data:" {"key1":' + Var1 + ', "key2":' + Var2 + '}}'; var json_obj = JSON.parse(data); request.post({ headers: {'content-type': 'application/json'}, url: ' form: json_obj }, function(error, response, body){ console.log(body) }); 

I have to get the data from a POST method of the PHP code. What worked for me was:

const querystring = require('querystring'); const request = require('request'); const link = ' let params = { 'A': 'a', 'B': 'b' }; params = querystring.stringify(params); // changing into querystring eg 'A=a&B=b' request.post({ headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' }, // important to interect with PHP url: link, body: params, }, function(error, response, body){ console.log(body); }); 

I highly recommend axios install it with npm or yarn

const axios = require('axios'); axios.get(') .then( response => { console.log('Respuesta', response.data); }) .catch( response => { console.log('Error', response); }) .finally( () => { console.log('Finalmente...'); });
