I am trying to post on an API with some query params. This is working on PostMan / Insomnia when I am trying to by passing mail and firstname as query parameters :
However, when I am trying to do it with my react native app, I got a 400 error (Invalid Query Parameters).
This is the post method :
.post(`/mails/users/sendVerificationMail`, {
mail,
firstname
})
.then(response => response.status)
.catch(err => console.warn(err));
(my mail and firstname are console.logged as follow: and myFirstName).
So I don't know how to pass Query Parameters with Axios in my request (because right now, it's passing data: { mail: "", firstname: "myFirstName" }.

axios signature for post is axios.post(url[, data[, config]]). So you want to send params object within the third argument:
.post(`/mails/users/sendVerificationMail`, null, { params: {
mail,
firstname
}})
.then(response => response.status)
.catch(err => console.warn(err));
This will POST an empty body with the two query params:
POST
As of 2021 insted of null i had to add {} in order to make it work!
axios.post(
url,
{},
{
params: {
key,
checksum
}
}
)
.then(response => {
return success(response);
})
.catch(error => {
return fail(error);
});
In my case, the API responded with a CORS error. I instead formatted the query parameters into query string. It successfully posted data and also avoided the CORS issue.
var data = {};
const params = new URLSearchParams({
contact: this.ContactPerson,
phoneNumber: this.PhoneNumber,
email: this.Email
}).toString();
const url =
"" +
params;
axios
.post(url, data, {
headers: {
aaid: this.ID,
token: this.Token
}
})
.then(res => {
this.Info = JSON.parse(res.data);
})
.catch(err => {
console.log(err);
});
