How to handle POST requests in Node.js
Friday, October 3, 2025
Handling POST requests is fundamental for creating APIs, processing form submissions, and accepting data from client applications in Node.js backend services. As the creator of CoreUI, a widely used open-source UI library, I’ve implemented POST request handling in numerous Node.js APIs for user authentication, data creation, and form processing in enterprise applications. From my expertise, the most practical approach is to use Express.js with proper middleware for body parsing. This method provides clean request handling, automatic JSON parsing, and robust error handling for production-ready applications.
