如何从 Sanic Framework 上的 DELETE 请求中读取 JSON 有效负载？

Question

On the frontend, I'm sending a DELETE request with a JSON Payload. This works fine and the data is correctly send, but in the backend - using Sanic Framework - the request's body is empty.

print(request.body) # b''
print(request.json) # None

How can I access the request's body from a DELETE request?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

By default, Sanic will not consume the body of a DELETE. There are two alternatives:

Option #1 - Tell Sanic to consume the body

@app.delete("/path", ignore_body=False)
async def handler(_):
    ...

Option #2 - Manually consume the body in the handler

@app.delete("/path")
async def handler(request: Request):
    await request.receive_body()
