Spring Boot REF2 - Http Post

springboot_ref2_http_post

(async function createPhoto() {
          let photo = {"fileName": "hello.jpg"};

          await fetch("http://localhost:8080/photoz", {
                    method: "POST",
                    headers: {
                              "Accept": "application/json",
                              "Content-Type": "application/json"
                    },
                    body: JSON.stringify(photo)
                    })
                    .then(result => result.text())
                    .then(text => alert(text));
})();

in line 2, "filename" should be "fileName" instead.

thanks @twoodruff01 , was getting frustrated why my files kept creating nulls. thanks for the correction.

the console is giving me an error
POST http://localhost:8080/photoz 405 (Method Not Allowed)
I understand it is for security, I searched in stackoverflow but all what i could find are outdated answers

As of April 29, 2024 I am also getting the 405 and can't find an answer.

This works for me :

async function createPhoto() {
const photoData = {
fileName: "newphoto.jpg" // Update the filename here
};

try {
    const response = await fetch("http://localhost:8080/photoz/1", {
        method: "POST",
        headers: {
            "Content-Type": "application/json"
        },
        body: JSON.stringify(photoData)
    });

    if (!response.ok) {
        throw new Error("Failed to create photo");
    }

    const responseData = await response.json();
    console.log("Photo created successfully:", responseData);
} catch (error) {
    console.error("Error:", error.message);
    alert("Error occurred while creating photo");
}

}

createPhoto();

you should get this return :

{"id":"1","fileName":"hello.jpg"},{"id":"39be5f8d-71d1-4483-b8e9-50619dc01632","fileName":"hello.jpg"}]

and also add @RequestBody annotation to postmapping

Using postman works for me.

The fetching code is correct, just update the mapping in your controller, to avoid this 405 (Method Not Allowed) Error:

@PostMapping("/photoz")
  public ResponseEntity<Photo> create(@RequestBody Photo photo) {
      photo.setId(UUID.randomUUID().toString());
      db.put(photo.getId(),  photo);
    return new ResponseEntity<>(Photo, HttpStatus.CREATED);
}

same here

You are not passing the actual photo variable, should be:

@PostMapping("/photoz")
public ResponseEntity<Photo> create(@RequestBody Photo photo) {
      photo.setId(UUID.randomUUID().toString());
      db.put(photo.getId(),  photo);
    return new ResponseEntity<>(photo, HttpStatus.CREATED);
}

Worked for me thank you

Thanks @tommywong712 and @WaterChick

Adding a cors origin solves cross-origin issues in browsers -

@CrossOrigin(origins = "*")
@RestController
public class PhotozController {

}

I was getting error 405 while the use the same JS in the gist, but it turned out i accidentally had
@PostMapping("/photos")
instead of
@PostMapping("/photoz")
(an s instead of a z in the post mapping path)
so if make sure you spelt that correct also.

@CentreMetre yes usually error 405 indicates somewhere you have gone incorrect in Mapping annotations

run it in http://localhost:8080
it will work.

Try original code in Chrome.
