title: Whole Body Validation

Sometimes you need to validate a request whose body is a string, an array, or even a number!
|
||
|
|
That's why you can omit the field to validate, and check `req.body` directly:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
|
||
|
|
const express = require('express');
|
||
|
|
const { body } = require('express-validator');
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
const app = express();
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// Will handle text/plain requests
|
||
|
|
app.use(bodyParser.text());
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
app.post('/recover-password', body().isEmail(), (req, res) => {
|
||
|
|
// Assume the validity of the request was already checked
|
||
|
|
User.recoverPassword(req.body).then(() => {
|
||
|
|
res.send('Password recovered!');
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This setup should be able to handle the following request:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```http
|
||
|
|
POST /recover-password HTTP/1.1
|
||
|
|
Host: localhost:3000
|
||
|
|
Content-Type: text/plain
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
my@email.com
|
||
|
|
```
