I am using react(frontEnd) with nodejs (backend), I am trying to send post request from client to sever. .

Client Side

Here below I sending the request to server, by using axions. I tried without axions simply calling fetch instead.I tired with adding localhost:5000 and without but I it still not working.

FYI , all the data that I am sending are valid and there are as requested. enter image description here

Server

After adding body-parser: currently I am getting a undefined object, could you please advise? enter image description here

  • is isTransportationCost only coming as undefined? I feel all of your parameters should arrive as undefined. Also +1 for clean code Commented Jun 29, 2018 at 7:10
  • req.body also undefined in here ? Commented Jun 29, 2018 at 7:14
  • The whole request, as well as all parameters Commented Jun 29, 2018 at 7:14
  • 3
    Images of code or exception are not helpful, it would be better to use textual representation instead. Commented Jun 29, 2018 at 7:33
  • Agreed, post code/text so it's searchable for people having the same issue. Commented Jun 29, 2018 at 7:45

Try This way

const data = {
    name: this.state.additionalCost
};

 axios
      .post(
        '/api/processData',
        data,
        { headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' } }
      )
      .then(function(result) {
       console.log(result);
      });

And use body-parser in express app

import express from 'express';
import bodyParser from 'body-parser';

app.use(bodyParser.json());

Set content type in header and check

axios.post('url', data, {
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    }
}

You don't need to JSON.stringify your data from the react axios request.

Here's an example:

const user = {
    name: this.state.name
};

axios.post(`https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users`, { user })
    .then(res => {
        console.log(res);
        console.log(res.data);
    }
)
