Sailsjs: Difference between `req.body` and `req.params.all()`

Question

What is the difference between req.body and req.params.all() when used in a sails controller?

Answer 1

req.body is whatever was parsed out of the request body, for example the payload in a POST request. req.params.all() gives you the collection of parameters culled from (in order of precedence):

• the route (e.g. the id in /post/:id).
• the request body
• the query string
