Answer 1

this worked for me.

let content = 'Hello world';

static apicall(content) {
return axios({
  url: `url`,
  method: "put",
  data: content
 });
}

apicall()
.then((response) => {
   console.log("success",response.data)
}
.error( () => console.log('error'));

Answer 2

simply put in headers 'Content-Type': 'application/json' and the sent data in body JSON.stringify(string)

Answer 3

This worked for me:

export function modalSave(name,id){
  console.log('modalChanges action ' + name+id);  

  return {
    type: 'EDIT',
    payload: new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      const value = {
        Name: name,
        ID: id,
      } 

      axios({
        method: 'put',
        url: 'http://localhost:53203/api/values',
        data: value,
        config: { headers: {'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data' }}
      })
       .then(function (response) {
         if (response.status === 200) {
           console.log("Update Success");
           resolve();
         }
       })
       .catch(function (response) {
         console.log(response);
         resolve();
       });
    })
  };
}

Answer 4

I solved this by overriding the default Content-Type:

const config = { headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'} };
axios.put(url, content, config).then(response => {
    ...
});

Based on m experience, the default Conent-Type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded for strings, and application/json for objects (including arrays). Your server probably expects JSON.

Answer 5

axios.put(url,{body},{headers:{}})

example:

const body = {title: "what!"}
const api = {
  apikey: "safhjsdflajksdfh",
  Authorization: "Basic bwejdkfhasjk"
}

axios.put('https://api.xxx.net/xx', body, {headers: api})

Answer 6

This works for me (code called from node js repl):

const axios = require("axios");

axios
    .put(
        "http://localhost:4000/api/token", 
        "mytoken", 
        {headers: {"Content-Type": "text/plain"}}
    )
    .then(r => console.log(r.status))
    .catch(e => console.log(e));

Logs: 200

And this is my request handler (I am using restify):

function handleToken(req, res) {
    if(typeof req.body === "string" && req.body.length > 3) {
        res.send(200);
    } else {
        res.send(400);
    }
}

Content-Type header is important here.
