POST json body isn't set on `ctx.request.body`

When I POST to my endpoint with a JSON body its not showing up on the server:

{
	"queries": ["pizza", "javascript"]
}

I get undefined for ctx.request.body

sending as form data seems to be ok for non-json objects. but I want to post json.

I’ve tried posting with both application/javascript and application/json neither work. (i’m using "koa-bodyparser": "^3.2.0" with "koa": "^2.0.0",)

Here is relevant app.js:

app
  .use(bodyParser())
  .use(cors({
    methods: ['GET', 'PUT', 'POST', 'PATCH', 'DELETE']
  }));

middleware(app);
routes(app);

i have meet with it too. u should set request header correctly which means ‘Content-Type’ is equal to ‘application/json’.

My fault. Didn’t define the content-type from Postman for “raw”:

The default “text” was override my manual headers.
