Endpoint Setup

[mbahgatTech]

Problem

• Express.js endpoints are setup to accept query parameters.
• We want to avoid using query parameters and use request body parameters instead.

  To-Do

• Update Express.js endpoints in our node server to parse body parameters. e.g.

  app.get('/endpoint', (req, res) => {
        let params = req.body; // instead of req.query
  });

• Update the axios calls to pass data argument instead of params. e.g

  axios({
  method: 'get',
  url: url + '/endpoint',
  data: {...params} // instead of params: {...params}
  });

• Do some regression testing to ensure making those changes didn't break anything.

Request body isn't applicable for get requests because it is recommended not to use body in a request. Express body parser can't parse axios data out of the box. Some research to be done

Implemented the change in all the non-get endpoints. Not sure what to do with the other ones yet. Will keep issue open for now pending a solution.

Did not implement changes for get endpoints and will most likely not look more into this. Closing issue due to inactivity.
