How does one access data posted within restify 1.x.x?

Question

I'm posting data to a restify API, but cannot find any currently examples for how to access the posted data. How does this work?

Answer 1

I found the answer. One of the included plugins needs to be activated, restify.bodyParser. The data may then be found in either req.params (default) or req.body (mapParams: false), depending on the settings (look specifically at BodyParser section).

Example:

server.use(restify.bodyParser({ mapParams: false })); // mapped in req.body 

Or:

server.use(restify.bodyParser()); // mapped in req.params
