Yep

#

Weird that I see it under v8 docs though

serene eagle
#

yes me too

#

i guess either i need to upgrade to v9 or i need to check an alternate solution for this

#

Nestjs have any alternate for this in v8?

vale latch
#

Can you run nest info for me really quickly? Or actually, what;s your package manager (npm, yarn, or pnpm)

serene eagle
#

wait a min

#

i am using npm

glacial imp
#

i remember use body parser in v7

vale latch
#

Are you on unix or Windows?

glacial imp

`import { NestFactory } from '@nestjs/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';
import { Logger, ValidationPipe } from '@nestjs/common';
import * as bodyParser from 'body-parser';

const logger = new Logger('Main');
const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;

async function bootstrap() {
const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule, {
bodyParser: false,
});

app.useGlobalPipes(new ValidationPipe({ transform: true }));

app.use(

Okay, 8.1.1. It's available in 8.4.5 from what I was seeing in the GitHub repo, so you probably just need to update the minor version and not do a full major upgrade

serene eagle

#

@nestjs/common and @nestjs/core. Honestly, keeping the @nestjs/* deps together is usually a good idea

serene eagle
vale latch
#

But core, common, and platform-* all have to be the same version

serene eagle
vale latch
#

npm upgrade @nestjs/common @nestjs/core @nestjs/platform-express

#

That should respect semver

serene eagle
#

ok let me try

serene eagle
#

for plain and xml body it is coming empty

vale latch
#

Got a minimum reproduction?

serene eagle
#

can't get you

vale latch
#

A sample repository that shows the problem you're having

serene eagle
#

ok give me some time, let me check this in fresh nestjs project.

serene eagle
#

still same issue in v9 also

serene eagle
#

@vale latch any update?

vale latch
#

I get the raw buffer as expected

<Buffer 7b 22 6b 65 79 22 3a 22 76 61 6c 75 65 22 2c 22 68 65 6c 6c 6f 22 3a 22 77 6f 72 6c 64 22 7d>
serene eagle

#

You didn't have an xml parser installed

#

So even if you added an xml parser, you'd still need to add a way to set the rawBody yourself

serene eagle
#

ok nest only provided for json's?

#

If it like that then better i write my own middleware.

vale latch
#

Yep

serene eagle
# 
  const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule,{
    bodyParser: false
  });
/**
   * Extract raw body Buffer to accept different request body type
   */
     const rawBodyBuffer = (req, res, buf: Buffer, encoding) => {
      console.log("buff",buf.toString());
      if (buf && buf.length) {
        req.rawBody = buf.toString(encoding || 'utf8');
      }
    };

    app.use(
      bodyParser.json()
    );

    app.use(
      bodyParser.text()
    );
  
    app.use(
      bodyParser.urlencoded()
    );

    app.use(
      bodyParser.raw({
        verify: rawBodyBuffer,
        type:["*/*"]
      })
    );
#

i just want the raw body of other content types apart from json.

serene eagle
# vale latch Yep

i guess nestjs is not parsing text body too? only json and urlencoded out of the box.

serene eagle
#

@vale latch @glacial imp thanks for the support!

slate jacinth
#

Any updates on this? I get only an empty response when using the rawBody

vale latch
slate jacinth
#

I have no other parsers:

  const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule, {
    cors: true,
    bodyParser: false,
    rawBody: true,
  });

app.useGlobalPipes(
    new ValidationPipe({
      whitelist: true,
      transform: true,
    })
  );
vale latch
#

The rawBody option adds req.rawBody along with parsing the body into the json format at req.body. With bodyParser: false, Nest won't add req.rawBody
