APIs

The module exports express-middleware function bodyParsingMiddleware(config); the config is a JSON object with options for different body-types.

The default config-options are:

{
    "json": {
        "limit": "1mb",
        "type": ["json", "*/json", "+json"]
    },
    "text": {
        "limit": "1mb",
        "type": ["text/*"]
    },
    "urlencoded": {
        "limit": "1mb",
        "extended": true
    },
    "raw": {
        "limit": "1mb",
        "type": "application/*"
    },
    "multipart": {} // use busboy defaults
}

Refer to the individual module documentation for detailed config-options:

• json
• text
• urlencoded
• raw
• multipart

Usage

var express = require("express").
    expressBodyParser = require("pr-express-body-parser");
 
var app = express();
express.use(expressBodyParser());

For all body-types except multipart, the request-body data is available in req.body property. In case of multiparty data, it is available via req.busboy as Busboy events and related streams.

Refer to test server.js implementation for usage details.

NOTE: In case of multipart, the request-body is piped to req.busboy by default
