    "statusText": "Reset Content",
    "headers": {
        "content-length": "2042",
        "content-type": "application/json; charset=utf-8"
    },
    "config": {
        "transitional": {
            "silentJSONParsing": true,
            "forcedJSONParsing": true,
            "clarifyTimeoutError": false

        "method": "post",
        "url": "http://localhost:3001/users",
        "data": "{\"username\":\"john4\"}"
    },
    "request": {}
}

CodePudding user response：

You should handle your HTTP requests asynchronously with axios, utilizing async await. It just makes it so much cleaner.

Example:

const sendGetRequest = async () => {
    try {
        const response = await axios.post('http://localhost:3001/users', { username: user.username });
        console.log(response.data);
    } catch (err) {
        // Handle Error Here
        console.error(err);
    }
};

Calling the function sendGetRequest() in this case will send the post request, get the response and console log the response. And since it is utilizing try catch, if something goes wrong, it will console log the error.

Also make sure that your axios is properly setup. The correct headers etc. to match whatever you have with postman.

The issue was on my backend i sent res.status(205).json(user) instead of res.status(208).json(user) which somehow bugged it and caused it to send no data.
