For anyone looking for a more elegant solution, turn off the bodyParser in main.ts. Create two middleware functions, one for rawbody and the other for json-parsed-body.
json-body.middleware.ts
import { Request, Response } from 'express';
import * as bodyParser from 'body-parser';
import { Injectable, NestMiddleware } from '@nestjs/common';
@Injectable()
export class JsonBodyMiddleware implements NestMiddleware {
use(req: Request, res: Response, next: () => any) {
bodyParser.json()(req, res, next);
}
}
raw-body.middleware.ts
import { Injectable, NestMiddleware } from '@nestjs/common';
import { Request, Response } from 'express';
import * as bodyParser from 'body-parser';
@Injectable()
export class RawBodyMiddleware implements NestMiddleware {
use(req: Request, res: Response, next: () => any) {
bodyParser.raw({type: '*/*'})(req, res, next);
}
}
Apply the middleware functions to appropriate routes in app.module.ts.
app.module.ts
[...]
export class AppModule implements NestModule {
public configure(consumer: MiddlewareConsumer): void {
consumer
.apply(RawBodyMiddleware)
.forRoutes({
path: '/stripe-webhooks',
method: RequestMethod.POST,
})
.apply(JsonBodyMiddleware)
.forRoutes('*');
}
}
[...]
And tweak initialization of Nest to turn off bodyParser:
main.ts
[...]
const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule, { bodyParser: false })
[...]
BTW req.rawbody has been removed from express long ago.
