Raw Text

Parse raw request body as text

Installation

npm install --save raw-text

Usage

Using Micro

``js
const parse = require('raw-text')

module.exports = async function (req, res) {
const text = await parse(req)
console.log(text)

return ''
}
`

Using the built in HTTP server provided by node.js

`js
const http = require('http');
const parse = require('raw-text')

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
const text = parse(req).then(text => {
console.log(text)
res.end()
})
})

server.listen(8000)
`

$3

parse(req, {limit = '1mb'})

- Use require('raw-text')
- Returns a Promise (can be used with async/await)
- Buffers the incoming body, calls toString() and returns it.
- limit is how much data is aggregated before parsing at max. It can be a Number of bytes or a string like '1mb'.
- The Promise` is rejected when an error occurs, it is your responsibility to catch it.
