So basically i am trying to create a custom plugin. i use useFetchClient(). get function works ok, but when i do a POST request, i can’t get the data to be sent via req, as you can see from the screenshot.

Hi Sergi,

I get the same result like you, do you have a solution found?

I think i managed to make it work using the older hook getFetchClient or axios. Anyway somehow after hours of testing, they both worked. Maybe check your version

Yeah I would double check your Strapi version. I used getFetchClient and it worked. Here is an example file for reference just in case. https://github.com/PaulBratslavsky/strapi-plugin-open-ai-embeddings/blob/main/admin/src/pages/CreateEmbeddings/index.jsx

Have the same issue on v4.14.6.
I send data with:

const res = await client.post('/gfw-custom-fields/upload-asset', {
  data: {
    foo: 'BAR',
  },
});

But on the server side ctx.request.body is undefined

Just tested it with getFetchClient instead of useFetchClient and there the post body is available on the request.

Hello there,

I can use both now. getFetchClient is marked as deprecated, so it will be removed in the near future. So here my solution that works:

In my Homepage (src/plugin/admin/src/pages):

import { useFetchClient } from '@strapi/helper-plugin';
import pluginId from '../../pluginId';

const HomePage = () => {
  const { get, post } = useFetchClient();

  ...

  const testSQLJob = () => {
    let kindOfTest = modus ? "findOne" : "findMany";

    const testJob = post("/sqljob/test-job", { data: {
        entity: value,
        modus: kindOfTest,
        json_content: content
      }
    }).then((response) => {
      console.log("TestJob: ", response.data);
      setJsonPreview(response.data);
    }); 
  }

The route (src/plugin/server/routes):

{
        method: 'POST',
        path: '/test-job',
        handler: 'myController.testJob',
        config: {
          policies: [],
        },
      },

The controller (src/plugin/server/controllers):

async testJob(ctx) {
    ctx.body = await strapi
    .plugin('sqljob')
    .service('myService').testJob(ctx.request.body.data);
  },

In the service (src/plugin/server/services)I return just a findMany - Result, for instance:

let response = await strapi.entityService.findMany(data.entity, json_object);

...

return response;

Thank you all!

Sven
