Request: body property

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

The body read-only property of the Request interface contains a ReadableStream with the body contents that have been added to the request. Note that a request using the GET or HEAD method cannot have a body and null is returned in these cases.

Value

A ReadableStream or null.

Examples

js
const request = new Request("/myEndpoint", { method: "POST", body: "Hello world", }); request.body; // ReadableStream
