Working in VueJS with MongoDB/Express backend api, attempting to add post a new record to the Bookmarks model with a single field url, but getting an error that the url field I am attempting to pass is undefined. I have used this pattern for api calls before without trouble, so I am not sure what is happening this time.
from the console:
Error in v-on handler (Promise/async): Error: Request failed with status code 500
in the network tab:
{errors:{message:Cannot read property 'url' of undefined,error:{}}}
here is the component:
<template>
<div class=bookmarks>
<h1>Add a Bookmark</h1>
<div class=form>
<div>
<input type=text placeholder=Enter a URL v-model=url>
</div>
<div>
<button class=app_post_btn @click=addBookmark>Save</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import BookmarksService from '@/services/BookmarksService'
export default {
name: 'NewBookmark',
data () {
return {
url: ''
}
},
methods: {
async addBookmark () {
await BookmarksService.addBookmark({
url: this.url
})
this.$router.push({ name: 'Bookmarks' })
}
}
}
</script>
<style type='text/css'>
.form input,
.form textarea {
width: 500px;
padding: 10px;
border: 1px solid #e0dede;
outline: none;
font-size: 12px;
}
.form div {
margin: 20px;
}
.app_post_btn {
background: #4d7ef7;
color: #fff;
padding: 10px 80px;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
width: 520px;
border: none;
cursor: pointer;
}
</style>
The api call to the backend comes via the services folder so in BookmarksService.js:
import Api from '@/services/Api'
export default {
fetchBookmarks () {
return Api().get('bookmarks')
},
addBookmark (params) {
return Api().post('bookmarks', params)
}
...
Api.js:
import axios from 'axios'
const token = localStorage.getItem('token')
export default () => {
return axios.create({
baseURL: 'http://localhost:8000/api',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
token: token,
}
})
}
In response to comments below, here is the request info:

on the server side:
here is the post route:
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const passport = require('passport');
const router = require('express').Router();
const auth = require('../auth');
const Bookmarks = mongoose.model('Bookmarks');
//POST new user route (optional, everyone has access)
router.post('/', auth.required, (req, res, next) => {
const userId = req.user.id;
const bookmark = req.body.bookmark;
if(!bookmark.url) {
return res.status(422).json({
errors: {
url: 'is required',
},
});
}
bookmark.userId = userId;
const finalBookmark = new Bookmarks(bookmark);
return finalBookmark.save()
.then(() => res.json({ bookmark: finalBookmark }));
});
...
the app.js file from the express app:
const express = require('express');
const path = require('path');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const session = require('express-session');
const cors = require('cors');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const errorHandler = require('errorhandler');
//Configure mongoose's promise to global promise
mongoose.promise = global.Promise;
//Configure isProduction variable
const isProduction = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production';
//Initiate our app
const app = express();
//Configure our app
app.use(cors());
app.use(require('morgan')('dev'));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
app.use(session({ secret: 'bookmarks-darius', cookie: { maxAge: 60000 }, resave: false, saveUninitialized: false }));
if(!isProduction) {
app.use(errorHandler());
}
//Configure Mongoose
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/bookmarks', { useNewUrlParser: true });
mongoose.set('debug', true);
//Models & routes
require('./models/Users');
require('./models/Bookmarks');
require('./config/passport');
app.use(require('./routes'));
// express doesn't consider not found 404 as an error so we need to handle 404 explicitly handle 404 error
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
if (err) {
next(err);
} else { // no error thrown by another route, so we must not have found a route, therefore return a 404
let err = new Error('Not Found');
err.status = 404;
next(err);
}
});
//Error handlers & middlewares
if(!isProduction) {
app.use(function (err, req, res, next) {
res.status(err.status || 500);
res.json({
errors: {
message: err.message,
error: err,
},
});
});
}
app.use(function (err, req, res, next) {
res.status(err.status || 500);
res.json({
errors: {
message: err.message,
error: {},
},
});
});
app.listen(8000, () => console.log('Server running on http://localhost:8000/'));
