Router post does not work.

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

I am new to deno and oak.

The below code doesnt work for post method but WORKS for get.

import { Application, Router } from "https://deno.land/x/oak/mod.ts";

const router = new Router();
router
  .post("/", context => {
    context.response.body = "Hello world Johnson!";
  });

const app = new Application();
app.use(router.routes());
app.use(router.allowedMethods());

await app.listen("127.0.0.1:8000");

Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance.

Just to add a small detail to the explanation: If you put a URL in any browser’s URL Bar, it will always run GET against that URL endpoint. To run POST you need to use a form submit or an ajax call. Cheers!

Let me elaborate on @wujingquan’s suggestion, correct me if I’m wrong. If you want to submit a post request in a browser you need to

Run your code
Create a file called index.html with this content and open it in a browser

<!-- index.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<form action="http://127.0.0.1:8000" method="post">
  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
