Question 41548 in PHP Question posted in
Official manual can be found here.

What's the NodeJS / Express equivalent to PHP's file_get_contents('php://input')?

In PHP I can fetch incoming JSON from let’s say an AJAX request by calling file_get_contents('php://input'), I’m now rebuilding my API in NodeJS (TypeScript) and am looking for an equivalent to fetch incoming JSON.

Various web searches did not deliver what I was looing for, so I hope to find help here.

    You can try to call the correct URL by using Axios. Following this link https://www.npmjs.com/package/axios for more.

    You can use bodyparser for express and receive data via post.

    let app = express();
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");

app.listen(port);
console.log('API started port' + port);

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(bodyParser.json());

app.post('/path', "maybe cors()", function(req, res){
let data = req.body.data //data is the json you get
}

    Thats the way i fetch json that gets send to the server. Hope you can make something with it.
