Curveball Body Parser

This package is a middleware for Curveball. It helps parsing JSON and Text request bodies.

When this middleware is added, it will automatically read all bodies from requests that have the following values as their Content-Type header:

application/json
application/*+json
application/x-www-form-urlencoded
text/*

It sets the result of this parsing process to the context.request.body property. In the case of text bodies, it will result in a string.

In the case of JSON bodies, it will be the result of JSON.parse on the body.

Installation

npm install @curveball/bodyparser

Getting started

});
