Hi,

Has anyone faced this issue

POST body missing. Did you forget use body-parser middleware?

SyntaxError: Unexpected token P in JSON at position 0
    at JSON.parse (<anonymous>)
    at IncomingMessage.<anonymous> (/home/abc/server/node_modules/graphql.js/graphql.js:71:25)

this is my code

const query = graph(`mutation(
    $username: String!, 
    $password: String! ) {
      authentication {
      login(
        username: $username,
        password: $password,
        strategy: "local"
      ) {
        responseResult {
          succeeded
          errorCode
          message
        }
        jwt
      }
    }
  }`);

  query({
    username: req.body.username,
    password: req.body.password
  }).then(
    resData => {
      res.send(resData);
    },
    err => {
      console.error(err)
      res.status(500).send(err)
    }
  );

am running graphql.js in express server and not using 'body-parser' but rather uses express.json(). I am sure that I am able to read 'req.body.username' and 'req.body.password' values successfully, so why is it suggesting to use body-parser ?

Weird thing is this request runs fine on my local machine but gives this error on deployed server.

Could someone let me know, how to console.log body, before we query?

Regards
