How to access submitted form data value from request in ExpressJS
Project: Codever
- File: user.router.js
The values are present in the request.body
which contains key-value pairs of data submitted in the request body.
In our case we access the userDisplayName
with the following expression request.body.userDisplayName
as in the example below:
usersRouter.post('/:userId/bookmarks/upload', keycloak.protect(), uploadBookmarks.single("bookmarks" /* name attribute of <file> element in your form */), async (request, response) => { userIdTokenValidator.validateUserId(request); const userDisplayName = request.body.userDisplayName; const importResponse = await browserBookmarksImportService.imporBrowserBookmarks(request.params.userId, request.file.buffer, userDisplayName); const str = JSON.stringify(importResponse, null, 2); // spacing level = 2 console.log(str); return response.status(HttpStatus.OK).send(importResponse); });
In angular the userDisplayName
value has been appended to the FormData
and submitted to a post request
via the Angular Http Client:
uploadBookmarks(userId: String, bookmarks: File, userDisplayName: string): Observable<any> { const formData = new FormData(); formData.append('bookmarks', bookmarks); formData.append('userDisplayName', userDisplayName); return this.httpClient.post(`${this.usersApiBaseUrl}/${userId}/bookmarks/upload`, formData); }
