JSON Parser Middleware for Satoshi Showdown. This middleware is responsible for parsing incoming request bodies that are in JSON format, a common requirement in modern web applications. It uses Express's built-in parser to handle the JSON data, enabling the server to easily access and process the structured information contained in request bodies. This middleware is essential for any routes where the client needs to send data to the server (e.g., form submissions, API calls) in a JSON format.
Requires
- module:express
Methods
(inner) jsonParserMiddleware() → {function}
Creates and returns the Express JSON parser middleware. This middleware automatically processes any incoming request with a 'Content-Type' of 'application/json', parsing the JSON data in the request body and making it available under the 'req.body' property in route handlers. This simplifies data handling in routes, ensuring that JSON data sent by clients is readily accessible for server processing.
Returns:
Middleware function provided by Express for JSON body parsing. This middleware will parse incoming JSON payloads, allowing for easy access and manipulation of request data in subsequent route handlers or middleware.
