In my application, I have a form with the action pointing to a nodejs endpoint. It is sucessfully performing the action, but when i try to extract the posted data from req, it refuses to give me anything. I may just be looking in the wrong place.
Here is my HTML
<body>
<h1>Hello, you are here</h1>
<form action="/archive_message" method="post">
Message URL: <input type="text" name="urlToProcess">
<select>
<option name="process-method" value="msg">Message</option>
<option name="process-method" value="trd">Thread</option>
<option name="process-method" value="act">Account</option>
</select>
<input type = "submit" value = "Submit">
</form>
</body>
here is my js
server.start().then(res => {
server.applyMiddleware({app})
app.listen(8081, function () {
console.log("Running!");
})
});
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.sendFile( __dirname + "/" + "index.html");
console.log("200 - GET");
});
app.post('/archive_message', function (req, res) {
console.log(req.body.urlToProcess);
res.redirect("/");
})
When i log req.body, i just get header info, when i try to dig further, i get errors. How am i supposed to be accessing the data submitted by the form?
specifically, i am getting this error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'urlToProcess')
Any help is appreciated.
