Description:

body parser

body_parser #


Parse request bodies and query strings in Dart, as well multipart/form-data uploads. No external
dependencies required.
This is the request body parser powering the
Angel
framework. If you are looking for a server-side solution with dependency injection,
WebSockets, and more, then I highly recommend it as your first choice. Bam!

About #
I needed something like Express.js's body-parser module, so I made it here. It fully supports JSON requests.
x-www-form-urlencoded fully supported, as well as query strings. You can also include arrays in your query,
in the same way you would for a PHP application. Full file upload support will also be present by the production 1.0.0 release.
A benefit of this is that primitive types are automatically deserialized correctly. As in, if you have a hello=1.5 request, then
body['hello'] will equal 1.5 and not '1.5'. A very semantic difference, yes, but it relieves stress in my head.
Installation #
To install Body Parser for your Dart project, simply add body_parser to your
pub dependencies.

Usage #
Body Parser exposes a simple class called BodyParseResult.
You can easily parse the query string and request body for a request by calling Future<BodyParseResult> parseBody.
import 'dart:convert';
import 'package:body_parser/body_parser.dart';

main() async {
// ...
await for (HttpRequest request in server) {
request.response.write(JSON.encode(await parseBody(request).body));
await request.response.close();
}
}

You can also use buildMapFromUri(Map, String) to populate a map from a URL encoded string.
This can easily be used with a library like JSON God
to build structured JSON/REST APIs. Add validation and you've got an instant backend.
MyClass create(HttpRequest request) async {
return god.deserialize(await parseBody(request).body, MyClass);
}

Custom Body Parsing #
In cases where you need to parse unrecognized content types, body_parser won't be of any help to you
on its own. However, you can use the originalBuffer property of a BodyParseResult to see the original
request buffer. To get this functionality, pass storeOriginalBuffer as true when calling parseBody.
For example, if you wanted to
parse GraphQL queries within your server...
app.get('/graphql', (req, res) async {
if (req.headers.contentType.mimeType == 'application/graphql') {
var graphQlString = new String.fromCharCodes(req.originalBuffer);
// ...
}
});
