Fetch error - Missing \"data\" payload in the request body
The GraphQL and Strapi API are changed and they added a parent level to the json object where the entire JSON object that has to be fetch must have a parent key called data
, if you submit the request without this key, the API is rejected with a 400 error.
My JSON I submit is like this
{"title": "aaa", "rating": "3", "body": "aa", "categories": "5"}
The api requires it to be like this
{"data" : {"title": "aaa", "rating": "3", "body": "aa", "categories": "5"}}
How can I tweak my code in order to insert a parent key in this JSON object?
With Postman I am able to post the data in the Strapi, by submiting the data like this:
{ "data": {
"title": "the best car",
"rating": 7,
"body": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt. ",
"categories": [3,7,4]
}
}
My full code is bellow:
import React, { useState } from "react";
import { useNavigate } from "react-router-dom";
import { useQuery, gql } from '@apollo/client'
import { useParams, Link } from 'react-router-dom'
const CATEGORIES = gql`
query GetCategories {
categories{
data
{
id
attributes{
name
}
}
}
}
`
const token ="AlaBala"
const Create = () => {
const [title, setTitle] = useState('');
const [body, setBody] = useState('');
const [rating, setRating] = useState(3);
const [categories, setCategories] = useState(5);
const history = useNavigate();
const { loading, error, data } = useQuery(CATEGORIES)
if (loading) return <p>Loading categories...</p>
if (error) return <p>`Error! ${error}`</p>
const handleSubmit = (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
const review = { title, rating, body, categories };
console.log(review)
fetch('http://localhost:1337/api/reviews/', {
method: 'POST',
mode: 'cors',
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization" : "Token " + token },
body: JSON.stringify(review)
})
}
return (object etc...)
Solution 1:
Try to change your fetch call to this, pay attention to the body field:
fetch('http://localhost:1337/api/reviews/', {
method: 'POST',
mode: 'cors',
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization" : "Token " + token },
body: JSON.stringify({data:review})
})
