httpAction

[cosmic pollen]

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,
});
});

I'm guessing you're testing this in the Dev deployment?

Can you share an example of how you're calling the HTTP endpoint?

[keen sage]

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 in

thank you

The problem I see is that the code snippet @cosmic pollen shared is directly from the docs, where it shows unpacking both author and body from the request.
