[SOLVED] On accessing properties of payload showing undefined

Hi All,

On accessing properties of payload showing undefined on Appwrite cloud using node.js server sdk

Data:

        messageFor: 'web',
        token: 'test-token',
        userToken: 'test-user-token',
        deviceToken: 'test-device-token'
}```

Sample Code:
```module.exports = async function (req, res) {
  const payload = req.payload;

  res.json({
    messageFor: 'messageFor - ' + payload.messageFor,
    token: 'token - ' + payload.token,
    userToken: 'userToken - ' + payload.userToken,
    deviceToken: 'deviceToken - ' + payload.deviceToken,
  });```

Sample Response:
```{
   "messageFor":"messageFor - undefined",
   "token":"token - undefined",
   "userToken":"userToken - undefined",
   "deviceToken":"deviceToken - undefined"
}```

req.payload is a string. You'll need to parse it

As per your suggestion, I have implemented the same but getting the below error.

Updated Sample Code

Error Response

I have google it and found it seems might be due to incorrect json string but couldn't able to identify where I am missing it

the data you're passing into the function is not valid JSON. you must wrap keys with double quotes

It worked! Thanks 🫡

Actually, I followed the sample JSON provided while executing from the console. Their keys are not wrapped with double quotes. Hope it will be fixed

yes, it has already been fixed in a newer version of Appwrite
