**Bodymen** works similarly to [Querymen](https://github.com/diegohaz/querymen) and has almost the same functionality, expect it formats, validates and parses request body instead of querystrings. Refer to [Querymen](https://github.com/diegohaz/querymen)'s readme to find out more.

## Prerequisites

You must use a request body parser like express [body-parser](https://github.com/expressjs/body-parser) and set it up before using bodymen:

```js

import express from 'express'

import bodyParser from 'body-parser'

const app = express()

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }))

app.use(bodyParser.json())

```

## Install

```sh

npm install --save bodymen

```

## Usage

Bodymen allows you to define a schema to control the fields sent through the request body.

```js

import bodymen, { errorHandler } from "bodymen"

app.post('/posts', bodymen.middleware({

  title: {

    type: String,

    required: true,

    trim: true,

    minlength: 3

  },

  content: {

    type: String,

    required: true,

    minlength: 32

  },

  tags: [String]

}), (req, res) => {

  console.log(req.bodymen.body) // will contain the parsed body

})

app.use(errorHandler()) // will send standard error messages, similar to Querymen

```
