Application stack: Django React
I am trying to extract email and password from the request sent from react.
Instead of getting email and password, I am getting None value.
The data sent is in FormData type.
This is the function handling signin in the backend(only required part):
def signin(request):
if not request.method == 'POST':
return JsonResponse({'error': 'Send a post request with valid paramenter only'})
# username = request.POST['email']
# password = request.POST['password']
username = request.GET.get('email')
password = request.GET.get('password')
print(username) #printing None
print(password) #printing None
These are the front end codes:
Here is the function handling form submission:
const onSubmit = (event) => {
//console.log({email,password})
event.preventDefault();
setValues({...values, error:false, loading:true})
signin({email, password})
.then(data => {
console.log("DATA", data);
if (data.token){
let sessionToken = data.token;
authenticate(sessionToken, () => {
console.log("TOKEN ADDED");
});
}})
.catch(e => console.log(e));
};
This is signin function:
export const signin = (user) => {
const formData = new FormData();
for(const name in user){
formData.append(name, user[name]);
}
return fetch(`${API}user/login/`,{
method:"POST",
body:formData //JSON.stringify(user)
})
.then((response) => {
console.log("SUCCESS", response);
return response.json();
})
.catch((err) => console.log(err));
};
This is authenticate function:
export const authenticate = (data,next) => {
if(typeof window !== undefined){
localStorage.setItem("jwt", JSON.stringify(data));
next();
}
};
I tested it on postman also, same error is coming. Can anyone help me how to grab the email and password from the request.
