Cloud Function returns undefiend when using POST

I am trying to send the param name in the Cloud Function managed by Firebase using POST method, I've read quite a few documentation, and no matter what I try it always returns undefined. Also is it safe to use this for sensitive data?
Client-Side
fetch(`https://<<APP-NAME>>.cloudfunctions.net/addCardForExistingCustomer`, {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
JSON.stringify(body: {'name': 'Name'})
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
console.log(data);
})
.catch(err => console.error(err));
Server-side (Firebase Cloud-Functions)
exports.addCardForExistingCustomer = functions.https.onRequest(async (request, response) => {
let name = await request.body.name
response.json({
response: `${name}`
})
})

Not able to get the res.json() value from nodejs server

I am using react.js as frontend and nodejs for the backend. My client-side code is
export const updatePaymentDetails = (userId, token, paymentDetails) => {
return fetch(`${API}/user/${userId}`, {
method: "POST",
headers: {
Accept: "application/json",
"Content-Type": "application/json",
Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`
},
body: JSON.stringify(paymentDetails)
})
.then(response => {
console.log(response);
return response.json();
})
.catch(err => console.log(err));
};
And My server-side code is
exports.updateUser = (req, res) => {
User.findByIdAndUpdate(
{_id: req.profile._id},
{$set: req.body},
{new: true, useFindAndModify: false},
(err, user) => {
if(err) {
return res.status(400).json({
error: "You are not authorized to update this user"
});
}
user.salt = undefined;
user.encry_password = undefined;
user.createdAt = undefined;
user.updatedAt = undefined;
console.log(user);
return res.json(user);
}
);
};
Front-end output
In the server-side code, you can see that I am returning the res.json. but On the client-side, I am not getting the value that I have returned from the server.
Please, can anyone help me?

You need to add one more then(). when you call response.json() it also returns a promise apply a then call when you return response.json()

Cookie error while trying to authenticate for data scraping

I'm trying to scrape some data from truepush website, but first it needs to be authenticated. So here is what I'm doing:
const loginUrl = 'https://app.truepush.com/api/v1/login'
let loginResult = await axios.get(loginUrl)
.then(({ headers }, err) => {
if (err) console.error(err);
return headers['set-cookie'][0];
})
.then((cookie, err) => {
if (err) console.error(err);
const splitByXsrfCookieName = cookie.split("XSRF-TOKEN=")[1]
return splitByXsrfCookieName.split(';')[0];
}).then(xsrfToken => {
return axios.post(loginUrl, {
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"X-XSRF-TOKEN": xsrfToken
}
})
}).then(res => console.log(res))
It throws xrsfToken on second then response and when I try to login in third response with that xsrf token, it shows me this error:
{
"status_code": "XSRF-ERROR",
"status": "ERROR",
"message": "Cross domain requests are not accepting to this endpoint. If you cleared the cookies, please refresh your browser."
}
I'm not sure what wrong I'm doing :(

The main issue is that the call also requires the original cookie to be sent. You need to keep the original cookie your get from set-cookie header and pass it in cookie header in the second call like cookie: originalCookie. Also in your code, there is no body sent in the POST call.
The following code reproduces the login :
const axios = require("axios");
const originalUrl = 'https://app.truepush.com';
const loginUrl = 'https://app.truepush.com/api/v1/login';
const email = "your-email#xxxxxx";
const password = "your-password";
(async () => {
await axios.get(originalUrl)
.then(({ headers }, err) => {
if (err) console.error(err);
const cookie = headers['set-cookie'][0];
return {
cookie: cookie,
xsrfToken: cookie.split("XSRF-TOKEN=")[1].split(";")[0]
};
})
.then((data, err) => {
if (err) console.error(err);
return axios.post(loginUrl, {
"email": email,
"password": password,
"keepMeLoggedIn": "yes"
}, {
headers: {
"X-XSRF-TOKEN": data.xsrfToken,
"cookie": data.cookie
}
})
})
.then(res => console.log(res.data))
})();
Output:
{
status_code: 'SUCCESS',
status: 'SUCCESS',
message: 'Login Successful',
data: {
id: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
name: 'xxxxx',
email: 'xxxxxxx#xxxxxx'
}
}
Note that both cookie and xsrfToken are consumed by the second promise

fetchAPI not returning response as then() is getting skipped

I am using fetchAPI to do a post call to my router which will fetch data of logged in user.
Below is the code for the same
submit_button.addEventListener('click',getuser)
function getuser()
{
console.log('clicked')
const username=uname_button.value;
const password=age_button.value;
console.log('username'+username)
console.log('password'+password)
const user = {
email: username,
password: password
};
let options = {
method: 'post',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=utf-8'
},
body: JSON.stringify(user)
}
fetch('/users', options)
.then(function(response) {
console.log(response)
})
}
When i execute this in browser, data is getting posted successfully but response is not getting printed , not even promise.
when i added debug points, i could see that control is not going inside then() block?
Can anyone help me with how how to solve this issue?

add a catch block after then to see if any error occurred, as follows:
fetch('/users', options)
.then(function(response) { console.log(response) })
.catch(function(error) { console.log(error) })

Remember that fetch returns a Promise containing the Response object. In order to extract the JSON body content from the response, we use the json() method.
fetch('/users', options)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch((error) => {
console.error('Error:', error);
});

ReactJS and Node.JS [JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data]

I'm getting struggle with this code, so I need a third eye on this to find a solution.
I'm developing a ReactJS app with a REST API with Node.JS (Express), and I'm getting this error:
SyntaxError: "JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data"
I'm using Sequelize ORM to work with Models and Database in Node.JS.
I'm also using CORS module for Node.JS.
This implementation works fine.
// Node.js Route for login
const router = require('express').Router();
const User = require('user');
router.post("/login", async (req, res) => {
try {
await User.findOne({
where: {
email: req.body.email,
password: req.body.password,
}
}).then((user) => {
if (!user) {
return res.send({message: "Login error!"});
} else {
const userData = {id: user.id, email: user.email};
res.send({"user": userData});
}
}).catch((err) => {
return res.send(err);
});
} catch (err) {
return res.send(err);
}
});
// ReactJS for login
loginFunction(e, data) {
e.preventDefault();
fetch('http://localhost:4500/login', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify(data)
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(json => {
this.setState({'user': json['user']});
})
.catch((err) => {
console.log(err);
this.setState({errors: "Login error"})
});
}
On the other hand, this implementation do not work properly and throws the SyntaxError above:
// Node.JS for Posts
const router = require('express').Router();
const Post = require('post');
router.get("/posts", async (req, res) => {
try {
await Post.findAndCountAll()
.then((posts) => {
res.send({"posts": posts});
}).catch((err) => {
return res.send(err);
});
} catch (err) {
return res.send(err);
}
});
// ReactJS for Posts
postsFunction() {
fetch('http://localhost:4500/posts', {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(json => {
this.setState({'posts': json.posts.rows});
})
.catch((err) => {
console.log(err);
this.setState({errors: "Posts error."})
});
}
As you can see both implementation have little differences, What am I missing?
PS: When I test the 2nd implementation on Postman, data is retrieving successfully.

try removing headers when using GET method
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

Try to use res.json instead of res.send in the node js function that cause the error.

I found the issue!
I follow the (#vengleab so) suggestion:
console log response instead of response => response.json()
I'm realize that response returns an object like this:
Response: {
body: ReadableStream
locked: false
<prototype>: object { … }
bodyUsed: false
headers: Headers { }
ok: true
redirected: false
status: 200
statusText: "OK"
type: "basic"
url: "http://localhost:3000/admin/undefined/posts"
}
The URL attribute contain an undefined value, so when I try to console.log the .env variable API_URL that contains the localhost URL used in this line:
fetch('http://localhost:4500/posts', {
That in real function is:
fetch(process.env.API_URL + '/posts', {
The result of the console.log was undefined.
As it is explained in Create React App docs, the environment variables must start with the prefix REACT_APP_.
Finally the line works as:
fetch(process.env.REACT_APP_API_URL + '/posts', {

I found that it was because my front end react url pointed to the same url as my backend server.js running mongodb. Also clearing the cookies on the browser seems to have helped as well.
