Nodejs bodyParser.raw on one route

Question

I have the following in my index.js:

app.use(bodyParser.json());

But Stripe webhooks want this:

Match the raw body to content type application/json

If I change my index.js to the following:

app.use(bodyParser.raw({type: 'application/json'}));

It works fine. But all my other API routes will not work anymore. Here is my route:

router.route('/stripe-events')
  .post(odoraCtrl.stripeEvents)

How can I change to the raw body for only this api route?

Answer 1

You can access to both at the same time by doing this:

app.use(bodyParser.json({
  verify: (req, res, buf) => {
    req.rawBody = buf
  }
}))

Now the raw body is available on req.rawBody and the JSON parsed data is available on req.body.
