Iron Router parse posted values - meteor

Question

I am currently trying to catch posted values from form inside specific route rule.
Since all the other SO posts about this do not work I wanted to ask again.Do you have this sorted out and implemented in your projects?
Is there a solution for Iron-Router#1.0.9?
this.request.body
Above code inside route rule always returns undefined.
Router.route('/register', function(){
console.log( JSON.stringify(this.request.body) );
//this.render('test',{data:{data:this.request.body.username}})
});
//SERVER ONLY
if (Meteor.isServer) {
Meteor.methods({
'addSong': function(songName) {
var userId = Meteor.userId()
songs.insert({
userId: userId,
name: songName
})
}
})
Router.onBeforeAction(Iron.Router.bodyParser.urlencoded({
extended: true
}));
}

Answer 1

The iron router guide lets us know that this.request and this.response are "NodeJS request and response objects".
If you take a look at some documentation for req.body, you will find that:
By default, it is undefined, and is populated when you use
body-parsing middleware such as body-parser and multer.
From Iron-router's guide:
IR makes express' body-parser available at Iron.Router.bodyParser.
So there you have it! If you want this.request.body to be populated, you should maybe add:
Router.onBeforeAction(Iron.Router.bodyParser.urlencoded({
extended: true
}));

I have created one file for my controller to maintain code re-usability name as solar.js under controller folder that solar file has my db functionality and pass the request and response as parameter for that file like exports.getSolarInfo = (req,res) => { console.log(req.body) }, here your will get ur body paramter.then manipulate our functionality here then send response like response = { "status" : 0, "result" : "invalid query" } res.end(JSON.stringify(response));
// importing controller
const SOLAR = require('./controllers/solar.js');
Router.route( '/solar', function() {
//setting header type to allow cross origin
this.response.setHeader( 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*' );
if ( this.request.method === "OPTIONS" ) {
this.response.setHeader( 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept' );
this.response.setHeader( 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'POST, PUT, GET, DELETE, OPTIONS' );
this.response.end( 'Set OPTIONS.' );
} else {
SOLAR.getSolarInfo(this.request,this.response);
}
}, { where: 'server' });
