httpAction
can't seem to get the body inside an http post action
https://docs.convex.dev/functions/http-actions
body is undefined everytime?
TS
import { httpAction } from "./_generated/server";
import { internal } from "./_generated/api";
export const postMessage = httpAction(async (ctx, request) => {
const { author, body } = await request.json();
await ctx.runMutation(internal.messages.sendOne, {
body:
Sent via HTTP action: ${body},
author,
});
return new Response(null, {
status: 200,
});

Thank you!
I'm guessing you're testing this in the Dev deployment?
Can you share an example of how you're calling the HTTP endpoint?
await request.json(); is the body
so don't unpack it, and print what the result of const data = await request.json() is with console.log(data)
well it's the message body
so you'll be able to see what payload was sent inthank you
The problem I see is that the code snippet @burnstony#1975 shared is directly from the docs, where it shows unpacking both
author and body from the request.ah maybe we should rename that variable to "message" or something; it makes sense in the docs but that code sample out of context you could think that will be the request body
