The key is to use "Content-Type": "text/plain" as mentioned by @MadhuBhat.
axios.post(path, code, { headers: { "Content-Type": "text/plain" } }).then(response => {
console.log(response);
});
A thing to note if you use .NET is that a raw string to a controller will return 415 Unsupported Media Type. To get around this you need to encapsulate the raw string in hyphens like this and send it as "Content-Type": "application/json":
axios.post(path, "\"" + code + "\"", { headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" } }).then(response => {
console.log(response);
});
C# Controller:
[HttpPost]
public async Task<ActionResult<string>> Post([FromBody] string code)
{
return Ok(code);
}
You can also make a POST with query params if that helps:
.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 http://localhost:8000/api/mails/users/sendVerificationMail?mail=lol%40lol.com&firstname=myFirstName
