node mongoose parse JSON payload in request.body
To instantiate a new Mongoose.model object using a JSON payload in request.body, simply set each field as seen below.
Confusion arrises when anything similar to the following is attempted:
var x = new X(request.body). That being said, I would like to know if the above code is possible.
The request header must have Content-Type: application/json, and the following body-parser code should be present. In my case, address contains several json fields, so it appears that body parser should work in all scenarios if you do what I did below.
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }))app.use(bodyParser.json()) var user = new users({ _id: request.body._id, email:request.body.email, account:request.body.account, name:request.body.name, address:request.body.address, phone:request.body.phone });
