how to get access to post data incoming inside a Django middleware?-CodePudding

I am writing a middleware due to which i need to access post data but none of the answers are solving my doubt, i am reading the data like this but this is working in postman but giving error in browser

  dict_str = request.body.decode("UTF-8")

any help is highly appreciated

error

RawPostDataException at /accounts/api/v1/register/
You cannot access body after reading from request's data stream

CodePudding user response：

You can get by reqeust.data, once POST body parsed on DRF, accessing to body is hindered.

CodePudding user response：

You can try this, i hope this will work

import json
import ast
def CustomMiddleware(get_response):
    def middleware(request):
        bytes_request_data = getattr(request, '_body', request.body)
        if bytes_request_data:
            request_data = ast.literal_eval(bytes_request_data.decode('utf-8'))
            print(request_data)
