I’m learning about API etc, and I was trying to do a simple POST request to ReqRes.in. Although the POST response suggests that the request was successful, it doesn’t include the data I’m sending, which is not the behavior expected according to the documentation…
My code:
<script>
function startAPI() {
let xhttp;
xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest;
xhttp.onreadystatechange = () => {
if (xhttp.readyState == 4) {
if (xhttp.status == 201) {
let reqresponse = JSON.parse(xhttp.responseText);
console.log(reqresponse)
};
};
};
let newUser = {
name: document.querySelector("#userName").value,
email: document.querySelector("#userEmail").value,
};
xhttp.open('POST', 'https://reqres.in/api/users', true);
xhttp.send(JSON.stringify(newUser));
};
</script>
<body>
<form onsubmit="startAPI(); return false">
<p>
<label for="userName">Nome: </label>
<input type="text" name="userName" id="userName">
</p>
<p>
<label for="userEmail">Email: </label>
<input type="email" name="userEmail" id="userEmail">
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Create User">
</p>
</form>
</body>
On submitting, I was expecting this response:
Object { name: "User Input Value", email: "Email Input Value", id: "848", createdAt: "2024-05-09T01:17:49.098Z" }
But what I receive is:
Object { id: "848", createdAt: "2024-05-09T01:17:49.098Z" }
I tested several combinations of ID, values capturing, methods of form submit, variables and function names, removal of If’s in the function etc, nothing worked.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks everyone, peace.
