question: @Body() empty with @Controller?

Hi guys,

Whenever I use @Controller I seems to not receive JSON body content. It works when I use @Jsoncontroller, am I missing anything?

I use createExpressApp, I tried version 0.8 and 0.9 and express 4 and 3. @Controller always return {} while Jsoncontroller works.

@Controller('/templates')
export class TemplateController {
    @Post('/:name')
    public getTemplate(@Param('name') templateName: string, @Body() body: any): string {
        return this.templateService.render(templateName, body)
    }
}

@posabsolute @ivanproskuryakov You have to add bodyParser

import express from “express”; import bodyParser from ‘body-parser’;

server.use(bodyParser.json()); server.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: true}));

useExpressServer(server, {});

server.listen(PORT, function () { console.log(‘Example app listening on port 3000’) });
