POST Request with JSON Body
Send a POST request with a JSON payload to a cross-origin server and include headers to specify the content-type.
// Define the data you want to send in the JSON payload
const data = {
key: 'value',
anotherKey: 'anotherValue'
};
// Create a configuration object for the POST request
const requestOptions = {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify(data),
mode: 'cors' // This will make the request cross-origin
};
// The URL to which you want to send the POST request
const url = 'https://cross-origin-server.com/path';
// Use the Fetch API to make the POST request
fetch(url, requestOptions)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log('Success:', data))
.catch((error) => console.error('Error:', error));
This code defines a JSON payload and sends it as the body of a POST request to a cross-origin server using the Fetch API. It sets the 'Content-Type' header to 'application/json' to inform the server of the payload's format. It also handles the promise returned by fetch() with a chain of .then() for success and .catch() for error.
