I want to fill content-types with data within a POST Request, because I want data to be added outside of the Strapi Backend. In this example I have the content type “article” and want to set the “title” to “Hello World” after the post request.
I already tried overwriting the controller like this:
async create(ctx) {
let entity;
if (ctx.is('multipart')) {
const {data, files} = parseMultipartData(ctx);
entity = await strapi.services.article.create(data, {files});
} else {
entity = await strapi.services.article.create(ctx.request.body);
}
const article = await sanitizeEntity(entity, {model: strapi.models.article});
article.title = 'Hello World';
console.log(article);
return article;
},
The console log prints out the right object, but when I look into the backend, the ‘Hello World’ is not inside the text field.
