Getting raw body from request

Is there a way to get a raw unparsed body from a request object. In express it would be req.body I'm trying to pass this to the payload of my Stripe WH signature verification and it's not taking req.text().

does req.blob() or req.arrayBuffer() give you want you want?

arrayBuffer() doesn't work either and req.blob() is null

(also just to check -- we're awaiting req.text() ?)

tried several variations:

req.text()
req.arrayBuffer().toString()
Buffer.from(req.text())
Buffer.from(req.text()).toString() <- lol

req.text()
req.arrayBuffer().toString()
Buffer.from(req.text())
Buffer.from(req.text()).toString() <- lol

I'm looking at https://blog.cloudflare.com/announcing-stripe-support-in-workers/ since it has examples of using the fetch standard with stripe and it sure seems like what you're doing should work. Does printing req.text() look right (like a stringified JSON payload)?

what is typeof await req.text()?

punnOP•2y ago

yep its a stringified json payload string

The error message says it's a "parsed JavaScript object" - I remember there's some nuance to if you're doing both req.json() and req.text() - once you do one, it might consume the body. If you don't do anything but validate, and pass in await req.text() as the parameter (not just req.text()), does that help?

Ah actually the .text() works fine. It was just an issue on my end re: mismatched env variables. Stripe's error message was also slightly misleading. Thanks regardless!
