Request: body property
Limited availability
This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
The body read-only property of the Request
interface contains a ReadableStream with the body contents
that have been added to the request. Note that a request using the
GET or HEAD method cannot have a body
and null is returned in these cases.
Value
A ReadableStream or null.
Examples
js
const request = new Request("/myEndpoint", {
method: "POST",
body: "Hello world",
});
request.body; // ReadableStream
