NestJS - How to access post body using @Body() decorator?

Question

import { Controller, Post, Body } from '@nestjs/common';
import { MyService } from 'my.service';
import { MyDto } from './dto/my.dto';

@Controller('my-route')
export class MyController {

    constructor(private readonly _myService: MyService) {}

    @Post()
    async  myMethod(@Body() myDto: MyDto) {
        console.log(myDto); // undefined
        return await this._myService.doStuff(myDto.elementOfInterest); // Passes undefined variable into method.
    }
}

I'm confused about the proper way to access the body form data from a POST in Nest. The documentation and examples all show simple use of the @Body() decorator preceding the name of a parameter which will contain the body (or a specific element in the body if a parameter is used). Yet in my example above, the body is never populated, and the method is called with myDto being undefined. Even changing its type to a string and simply passing a single key/value pair in the body of my POST leaves it undefined.

What's the correct way to handle POST bodies in Nest?

Kamil Mysliwiec's comment about Content-Type was the solution.

Also, keep in mind to set Content-Type request header into application/json.
