Express不会将对象从服务发送到API控制器

Question

Trying to understand user authentication in order to integrate into my web app. I've been following http://www.sitepoint.com/user-authentication-mean-stack/ as a guide.

I'm a novice when it comes to webdev, so I'm having trouble searching the right thing to fix my problem. The issue is when I try to register a new user my object isn't getting received in my api controller.

register.controller.js

(function () {
  angular
  .module('misplaced')
  .controller('registerCtrl', registerCtrl);

  registerCtrl.$inject = ['$location', 'authentication'];
  function registerCtrl($location, authentication) {
    var vm = this;
    vm.onSubmit = function () {
    authentication
      .register(vm.credentials)
      .error(function(err){
        alert(err);
      })
      .then(function(){
        $location.path('profile');
      });
  };

authentication.service.js

(function () {
 angular
 .module('misplaced')
 .service('authentication', authentication);

 authentication.$inject = ['$http', '$window'];
 function authentication ($http, $window) {
   register = function(user) {
   return $http.post('/api/register', user).success(function(data){
     saveToken(data.token);
   });
 };

authentication.js

module.exports.register = function(req, res) {

  var user = new User();
  user.name = req.body.name;
  user.email = req.body.email;
  user.setPassword(req.body.password);

  user.save(function(err) {
    var token;
    token = user.generateJwt();
    res.status(200);
    res.json({
      "token" : token
    });
  });
};

Through some console.log I've tracked that the object gets created fine from the register.controller and gets passed to authentication.service fine, but when I try to console.log the object in authentication.js file it's empty. Can someone help explain to me what might be happening? Thanks in advance!

This sounds like an Express configuration issue, you may not be using the bodyParser module in Express.

var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var app = express();

app.use(bodyParser.json());

This will allow your middleware to access the request body properties in req.body
