How to define and receive body from POST request?

[alirezaalavi87]

Hi.

Say i have endpoint /users, GET retrieves all users and POST with the body {"name": "foo", "lastName": "bar"} creates a new user.

I can't find anywhere in the docs how to define and retrieve the body of a POST request.

I tried this but body-params is always empty

(def filters-routes
  ["/filters"
   ["/advanced" {:post (fn [{:keys [query-params body-params]}]
                         {:status 200
                          :body (str
                                 "\nquery-params: " query-params
                                 "\nbody-params: " body-params)})}]])

Hi !
I'd say it depends on your middleware/interceptor stack.

Here is a complete example : https://github.com/metosin/reitit/blob/master/examples/ring-malli-swagger/src/example/server.clj#L97

I think this is a very cloudy part of using reitit for someone new.
There is almost no documentation around it too. I think a POST request example must be also included in the README right under the initial GET request examples in the quickstart or "Ring Example"
How do you think we can improve that?
