TypeScript definitions for body-parser
The @types/body-parser package contains TypeScript definitions for the body-parser package. Body-parser is a middleware used in Express applications to parse incoming request bodies before your handlers, available under the req.body property. It supports parsing of JSON, raw, text, and URL-encoded form bodies. The @types/body-parser package doesn't provide functionality by itself but offers type definitions to enable TypeScript developers to use body-parser in a type-safe manner.
JSON Body Parsing
Parses incoming request bodies in a middleware before your handlers, available under the req.body property, assuming the Content-Type header of the request is application/json.
import * as bodyParser from 'body-parser';
import express from 'express';
const app = express();
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.post('/json', (req, res) => {
res.send(req.body);
});
URL-Encoded Form Body Parsing
Parses incoming request bodies with URL-encoded data (like form submissions) before your handlers, making the form data available under the req.body property.
import * as bodyParser from 'body-parser';
import express from 'express';
const app = express();
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.post('/form', (req, res) => {
res.send(req.body);
});
