Readme
You can extract the POST data from a request without the use of external frameworks such as Express. I probably sourced this from StackOverflow or forums. If you're trying to convert JSON to a string check out 'jape' npm module or use querystring.stringify
.
This module was built to work with curl:
curl --data "param1=value1¶m2=value2" http://localhost:3000/post
I'm not sure how useful it is outside of curl. You should let me know if it works for you or if I need to change anything.
#Examples
var postdata = require('postdata');
//req and res are from a standard http server
postdata(req, res, function(err, data) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
} else {
console.log(data); //logs an object like '{ param1: 'value1', param2: 'value2' }'
}
});
