Axios 1.18.0 transformRequest JSON.stringify object undefined axios.post request body

💡 Result:

In Axios 1.18.0, when using a custom transformRequest function to perform JSON.stringify(object), you may encounter issues where the request body is sent incorrectly, becomes undefined, or fails to include desired data because JSON.stringify natively removes keys with undefined values or because the transformation output does not adhere to the required output format [1][2]. To successfully stringify an object in transformRequest while handling undefined values or ensuring the correct output, follow these best practices: 1. Handle Undefined Values: Use a replacer function with JSON.stringify to convert undefined values to null (or another desired value), as JSON.stringify otherwise omits these keys [1][2]. 2. Set Content-Type: When using a custom transformRequest, Axios may not automatically set the Content-Type header to application/json. You should set this manually within the transformer function [2]. 3. Ensure Valid Return Type: The final output of your transformRequest must be a string, Buffer, ArrayBuffer, FormData, or Stream [3][4]. If you return an object, the request will fail or behave unexpectedly [5]. Example implementation: const instance = axios.create({ transformRequest: [ function (data, headers) { // 1. Manually set the content type headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/json'; // 2. Stringify using a replacer function to handle undefined return JSON.stringify(data, (key, value) => { return value === undefined? null: value; }); } ] }); instance.post('/endpoint', { key1: 'value', key2: undefined // Will be converted to null instead of removed }); Note that transformRequest is an array of functions [6]. If you are using axios.create or overriding the default configuration, ensure you are not accidentally overwriting default transformers if you still rely on them [5]. If you use new axios.Axios directly rather than axios.create, default transformers are not included by default and must be explicitly added [7].

Keep empty reset options bodyless.

ResetApiTokenRequest allows reset(id, {}), but post(url, params) serializes {} as an empty JSON object. Restore the conditional body handling and add a regression test for reset(id, {}).

restore the conditional post invocation and add a regression test covering
reset(id, {}).
