Node.js - api.post()

This method is a convenient short version of api().route().post()

import { api } from '@nitric/sdk'

api('public').post('/customers', (ctx) => {
  // construct response for the POST: /customers request...
  const responseBody = {}
  ctx.res.json(responseBody)
})

Examples

Register a handler for POST requests

import { api } from '@nitric/sdk'

api('public').post('/customers', (ctx) => {
  // handle the POST request...
  const responseBody = {}
  ctx.res.json(responseBody)
})

Chain services as a single method handler

When multiple services are provided they will be called as a chain. If one succeeds, it will move on to the next. This allows middleware to be composed into more complex handlers.

import { api } from '@nitric/sdk'
import { validate } from '../middleware'

const createCustomer = (ctx) => {
  // handle the POST request...
  const responseBody = {}
  ctx.res.json(responseBody)
}

api('public').post('/customers', [validate, createCustomer])

Access the request body

The POST request body is accessible from the ctx.req object.

import { api } from '@nitric/sdk'

api('public').post('/customers', (ctx) => {
  const customerData = ctx.req.data
  // parse, validate and store the request payload...
})
