req.body.long_url is undefined

[peterpme]

Hey,

Thanks for creating this! Awesome library!

I'm running into an issue req.body.long_url being undefined no matter if I try raw json, form-data or any other option I have for a parameter.

Do you have any advice?

Thanks!

Which tool your using to make post request?
Below are sample codes
For cUrl request

curl -X POST \
  http://localhost:3000/api/v1/shorten \
  -H 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
  -d long_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com%2F

for jQuery ajax

var settings = {
  "async": true,
  "crossDomain": true,
  "url": "http://localhost:3000/api/v1/shorten",
  "method": "POST",
  "headers": {
    "content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
  },
  "data": {
    "long_url": "https://google.com/"
  }
}

$.ajax(settings).done(function (response) {
  console.log(response);
});
