使用Axios将Blob发送到服务器，接收到一个空对象

Question

I am trying to send an audio as a Blob object in React with Typescript to the server with Axios. I have been trying many ways but I always get an emty object on the node server.

As I have seen, now I have what it should be the correct way to do it. But still get an empty object.

const config = {
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data; boundary=${data._boundary}'
    }
  };

  try {
    var formData: FormData = new FormData();
    formData.append('audio', audioBlob);

    const res = await axios.post('/api/recording', formData, config);
    console.log(res);
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err.response.data.errors);
  }

If i do

'Content-Type': 'application/json'

and send a normal json for example

{ test: 'test' }

I do receive it correctly on the server.

As you are sending the data in multipart , you need to listen to the data event to get the body data. If I am sending {foo: bar} as data, I can get it like:

app.use ( '/foo', ( req, res ) => {    
    req.on ( 'data', ( data ) => {
        console.log ( data.toString () );
    } );

    req.on('end', () => {
        res.send('ok');
    });
} );

However, this will give you something like this:

----------------------------807095611705406533847525
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="foo"

bar
----------------------------807095611705406533847525--

This would be difficult to parse. So to ease the parsing, you can use multer . This would give you the data in your req.body object.

let multer           = require ( 'multer' );
let processMultipart = multer ( { storage : multer.memoryStorage () } );

app.use ( '/foo', processMultipart.array ( "foo" ), ( req, res ) => {
    console.log ( req.body );
    res.send ( "ok" );
} );

This would give you the output as [Object: null prototype] { foo: 'bar' } and you can access the value as req.body.foo .
