How to mock POST request using mock-http-server npm module in nodejs?

Question

I am using 'chai-http' to test rest APIs and 'mock-http-server' to mock http requests. I am able to implement mock GET request by doing the following -

 it ('API GET TEST', function (done) { mockserver.on({ method: 'GET', path: '/v1/myAPI', reply: { status: 200, headers: {"content-type": "application/json"}, body: JSON.stringify(response) } }); chai.request(myapp) .get('/v1/myAPI') .end(function(err, res) { res.should.have.status(200); res.should.be.json; done(); }) }); 

My chai request correctly gets the response I have send from mockserver GET /v1/myAPI.

What I want to do is mock a post request and depending on post body I want to send response.

  mockserver.on({ method : 'POST', path : '/v1/myPOSTAPI', reply: { status: 200, headers: { "content-type": "application/json" }, body: function(req) { if (req.body.id == 1) { JSON.stringify(response1); } else { JSON.stringify({"error" : "Not Found"}); } } } }); 

My POST body is -

 { id : 1 } 

But when I use mock API for post, my 'req' object does not contain post body. How can I get post body by mocking post request using 'mock-http-server' ?

server.on({
method: 'POST',
path: ''/v1/myPOSTAPI'',
filter: function (req) {
  return _.isEqual(req.body, {id : 1}) // use some function to equal req data
},
reply: {
    status:  201,
    headers: { "content-type": "application/json" },
    body: function(req) {

                if (req.body.id == 1) {
                    JSON.stringify(response1);
                } else {
                    JSON.stringify({"error" : "Not Found"});
                }
            }
}

});
