My REST API is posting empty objects.
I am getting the value from req.body.name
If I log it console.log(req.body.name); I get the value on my console.
POST:
{ name: 'typing any name', status: null }
typing any name
So the workflow between my frontend (angular.js), the form and the backend (node.js, express, mongoose) seems to work. Now I POST the value, but I get an empty object in my mongoDB.
{"_id":"543a50a974de6e2606bd8478","__v":0}
app.post('/api/offers', function (req, res){
var offer;
console.log("POST: ");
console.log(req.body);
console.log(req.body.name);
offer = new OfferModel({
name: req.body.name,
value: req.body.value,
title: req.body.title,
content: req.body.content,
});
offer.save(function (err) {
if (!err) {
return console.log("created offer" + req.body.name);
} else {
return console.log(err);
}
});
return res.send(offer);
});
And here is the model:
var offerSchema = mongoose.Schema({
offer : {
name : String,
value : String,
title : String,
content : String,
image : String,
start : String,
end : String,
targets : String,
beacons : String,
published : String
}
});
var OfferModel = mongoose.model('Offer', offerSchema);
