How to read request body from inside a Deno application?

[goodmanworld]

I am trying to write a simple signup using Deno, and the following is my code:

async register(ctx: RouterContext) {
    const { email, password } = await ctx.request.body().value;
    let user = await User.findOne({ email });
    if (user) {
        ctx.response.status = 422;
        ctx.response.body = { message: "Email is already exist" };
        return;
    }
    const hashedPassword = hashSync(password);
    user = new User({ email, password: hashedPassword });
    await user.save();
    ctx.response.status = 201;
    ctx.response.body = {
        id: user.id,
        name: user.name,
        email: user.email
    };
}

The problem is that, what I get from the frontend side is like below:

{
    email: "<email>",
    password: "<password>"
}

But it seems my backend expects something like this:

{
    value: {
        email: "<email>",
        password: "<password>"
    }
}

And when I try to remove that .value part from the end of the following line of the code and change it like below:

const { email, password } = await ctx.request.body();

It gives me error messages like:

Property 'email' does not exist on type 'Body'.
Property 'password' does not exist on type 'Body'.

The body is the promise which can be awaited, not the value on the body. You need something like this:

= (await request.body()).value
