Install

Usage

const Koa = require('koa');
const bodyParser = require('koa-bodyparser');

const app = new Koa();
app.use(bodyParser());

app.use(async ctx => {
  // the parsed body will store in ctx.request.body
  // if nothing was parsed, body will be an empty object {}
  ctx.body = ctx.request.body;
});

Options

enableTypes: parser will only parse when request type hits enableTypes, support json/form/text/xml, default is ['json', 'form'].
encoding: requested encoding. Default is utf-8 by co-body.
formLimit: limit of the urlencoded body. If the body ends up being larger than this limit, a 413 error code is returned. Default is 56kb.
jsonLimit: limit of the json body. Default is 1mb.
textLimit: limit of the text body. Default is 1mb.
xmlLimit: limit of the xml body. Default is 1mb.
strict: when set to true, JSON parser will only accept arrays and objects. Default is true. See strict mode in co-body. In strict mode, ctx.request.body will always be an object(or array), this avoid lots of type judging. But text body will always return string type.

detectJSON: custom json request detect function. Default is null.

app.use(bodyParser({
  detectJSON: function (ctx) {
    return /\.json$/i.test(ctx.path);
  }
}));

extendTypes: support extend types:

app.use(bodyParser({
  extendTypes: {
    json: ['application/x-javascript'] // will parse application/x-javascript type body as a JSON string
  }
}));

onerror: support custom error handle, if koa-bodyparser throw an error, you can customize the response like:

app.use(bodyParser({
  onerror: function (err, ctx) {
    ctx.throw('body parse error', 422);
  }
}));

disableBodyParser: you can dynamic disable body parser by set ctx.disableBodyParser = true.

app.use(async (ctx, next) => {
  if (ctx.path === '/disable') ctx.disableBodyParser = true;
  await next();
});
app.use(bodyParser());

Raw Body

You can access raw request body by ctx.request.rawBody after koa-bodyparser when:

koa-bodyparser parsed the request body.
ctx.request.rawBody is not present before koa-bodyparser.
