Django Rest Framework web service - `Unsupported Media Type: /api/function_name`
I'm working on building a React (Next.js) application that will communicate with a DRF web service.
The application will not be interacting with a database very much but instead sending in data to crunch with the DRF app which will return derived values for display in the React app.
On a form submission, I have the following function run on the React side:
(values) => {
fetch(http://localhost:8000/api/testing_post/", {
mode: 'no-cors',
method: "POST",
headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
body: JSON.stringify(values, null, 2)
}).then(res => {
console.log("Request complete! response:", res);
});
}
This posts the form data to the following view function in the DRF app:
@api_view(["POST"])
@parser_classes([JSONParser])
def testing_post(request):
print(dir(request))
print(request.data)
return Response(status=status.HTTP_200_OK)
When I run without print(request.data)
, everything works as expected. However, when I include this line, I get a 415 error Unsupported Media Type: /api/testing_post/
I'm confused as to why I'm receiving this message - I'm clearly setting the content type in the request; and, on the server side, am using a JSON parser.
Does anyone know where the issue is stemming from? Thanks in advance!
