POST not working with Node and Angular

Question

I'm trying to make a POST request from Angular Factory to Node.

Angular Factory -

    function saveUser(userObject){
        var createUser = $http({
            method: 'POST',
            url: 'CreateUser',
            data: userObject,
            headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
        });

        return createUser.then(callSuccess, callError);
    }

Node-

function create(){
    app.post('/CreateUser', urlEncodedParser, function(request, response){
        var userData = {
            firstName : request.body.firstName,
            lastName : request.body.lastName,
            email : request.body.email,
            password : request.body.password,
            role : request.body.role
        };
        console.log(request);
        console.log(userData);

       dbOpperations.saveData(userData, 'UserTable');
    });
}

The call is made but I get response.body = {}

could be due to the reason that you're not returning any desired data from 'node' — Gopinath Shiva

it seems that you are not returning anything from the POST request. Try to add response.send('User is created') in the success callback of dbOperations . — Mukesh Sharma

Yes, console.log() works. I'm able to see the 'request.body' as empty object. — Sudarshan

Sorry for the mistake, I'm getting empty object for request.body (instead of response.body). Additionally when I'm using Postman tool it works, but doesn't works when called from code. — Sudarshan

You are getting an empty response because you are not returning anything from node.

please use response.send()

response.send('success')

Thanks all for your help.

I'm able to POST the data and save on db.

I missed to use app.use(bodyParser.json());
