A full-featured
koa
body parser middleware. Supportsmultipart
,urlencoded
, andjson
request bodies. Provides the same functionality as Express's bodyParser -multer
.
Install with npm
npm install koa-body
- can handle three type requests
- multipart/form-data
- application/x-www-urlencoded
- application/json
- option for patch to Koa or Node, or either
- file uploads
- body, fields and files size limiting
npm install koa koa-body # Note that Koa requires Node.js 7.6.0+ for async/await support
index.js:
const Koa = require('koa');
const koaBody = require('koa-body');
const app = new Koa();
app.use(koaBody());
app.use(ctx => {
ctx.body = `Request Body: ${JSON.stringify(ctx.request.body)}`;
});
app.listen(3000);
node index.js
curl -i http://localhost:3000/users -d "name=test"
Output:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 29
Date: Wed, 03 May 2017 02:09:44 GMT
Connection: keep-alive
Request Body: {"name":"test"}%
For a more comprehensive example, see examples/multipart.js
Usage with koa-router
It's generally better to only parse the body as needed, if using a router that supports middleware composition, we can inject it only for certain routes.
const Koa = require('koa');
const app = new Koa();
const router = require('koa-router')();
const koaBody = require('koa-body');
router.post('/users', koaBody(),
(ctx) => {
console.log(ctx.request.body);
// => POST body
ctx.body = JSON.stringify(ctx.request.body);
}
);
app.use(router.routes());
app.listen(3000);
console.log('curl -i http://localhost:3000/users -d "name=test"');
Options available for
koa-body
. Four custom options, and others are fromraw-body
andformidable
.
patchNode
{Boolean} Patch request body to Node'sctx.req
, defaultfalse
patchKoa
{Boolean} Patch request body to Koa'sctx.request
, defaulttrue
jsonLimit
{String|Integer} The byte (if integer) limit of the JSON body, default1mb
formLimit
{String|Integer} The byte (if integer) limit of the form body, default56kb
textLimit
{String|Integer} The byte (if integer) limit of the text body, default56kb
encoding
{String} Sets encoding for incoming form fields, defaultutf-8
multipart
{Boolean} Parse multipart bodies, defaultfalse
urlencoded
{Boolean} Parse urlencoded bodies, defaulttrue
text
{Boolean} Parse text bodies, defaulttrue
json
{Boolean} Parse json bodies, defaulttrue
jsonStrict
{Boolean} Toggles co-body strict mode; if set to true - only parses arrays or objects, defaulttrue
includeUnparsed
{Boolean} Toggles co-body returnRawBody option; if set to true, for form encodedand and JSON requests the raw, unparsed requesty body will be attached toctx.reqeust.body
using aSymbol
, defaultfalse
formidable
{Object} Options to pass to the formidable multipart parseronError
{Function} Custom error handle, if throw an error, you can customize the response - onError(error, context), default will throwstrict
{Boolean} DEPRECATED If enabled, don't parse GET, HEAD, DELETE requests, defaulttrue
parsedMethods
{String[]} Declares the HTTP methods where bodies will be parsed, default['POST', 'PUT', 'PATCH']
. Replacesstrict
option.
see http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-p2-semantics-19#section-6.3
GET
,HEAD
, andDELETE
requests have no defined semantics for the request body, but this doesn't mean they may not be valid in certain use cases.- koa-body is strict by default, parsing only
POST
,PUT
, andPATCH
requests
Some applications require crytopgraphic verification of request bodies, for example webhooks from slack or stripe. The unparsed body can be accessed if includeUnparsed
is true
in koa-body's options. When enabled, import the symbol for accessing the request body from unparsed = require('koa-body/unparsed.js')
, or define your own accessor using unparsed = Symbol.for('unparsedBody')
. Then the unparsed body is available using ctx.request.body[unparsed]
.
See node-formidable for a full list of options
maxFields
{Integer} Limits the number of fields that the querystring parser will decode, default1000
maxFieldsSize
{Integer} Limits the amount of memory all fields together (except files) can allocate in bytes. If this value is exceeded, an 'error' event is emitted, default2mb (2 * 1024 * 1024)
uploadDir
{String} Sets the directory for placing file uploads in, defaultos.tmpDir()
keepExtensions
{Boolean} Files written touploadDir
will include the extensions of the original files, defaultfalse
hash
{String} If you want checksums calculated for incoming files, set this to either'sha1'
or'md5'
, defaultfalse
multiples
{Boolean} Multiple file uploads or no, defaulttrue
onFileBegin
{Function} Special callback on file begin. The function is executed directly by formidable. It can be used to rename files before saving them to disk. See the docs
