Ionic HTTP POST - 500 Internal error

Question

I use HTTP Post for post to my Heroku Server. When I put variable direct in server like this (I use Postman) :

var user = "Mélanie",
name = "Sortie au musée",
tag = "servertest";

It's work, but when I use (with click on ionic button) :

var user = req.body.user,
name = req.body.name,
tag = req.body.tag;

I have Internal error 500 ...

My controller :

var SERVER_SIDE_URL = "https://myapp.herokuapp.com";
var pushUrl = SERVER_SIDE_URL + "/cancelpush";

$scope.canceled = function() {
    $http.post(pushUrl, {
        params: {
            user: "Mélanie",
            name: "Sortie à la salle",
            tag: "servertest"
        }
    }).success(function(data) {
        console.log("Success bro !" + data)
    }).error(function(data) {
        alert("ERROR" + data);
    });
};

My server :

app.post('/cancelpush', function(req, res) {
  var user = req.body.user,
    name = req.body.name,
    tag = req.body.tag;

  var sendNotification = function(data) {
    var headers = {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
      "Authorization": "Basic MyKey(Secret)"
    };

    var options = {
      host: "onesignal.com",
      port: 443,
      path: "/api/v1/notifications",
      method: "POST",
      headers: headers
    };

    var https = require('https');
    var req = https.request(options, function(res) {
      res.on('data', function(data) {
        console.log("Response:");
        console.log(JSON.parse(data));
      });
    });

    req.on('error', function(e) {
      console.log("ERROR:");
      console.log(e);
    });

    req.write(JSON.stringify(data));
    req.end();
  };

  var message = {
    app_id: "myappidwithnumbers(Secret)",
    contents: {
      "en": user + " not come " + name + " ! why ... "
    },
    tags: [{
      "key": tag,
      "relation": "=>",
      "value": tag
    }]
  };

  sendNotification(message);
});

EDIT (Question solved, thanks to hallucinations) :

The error come because user is not defined :

With this Server JS, it's work :

var app = express();
var router = express.Router();

app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({

    next();

router.get('/', function(req, res) {
    res.json({

var url = 'http://requestb.in/wf21lpwf'

app.use(bodyParser());
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use('/api', router); // register our route
app.listen(port);

console.log('Magic happens on port ' + port);

I hope it's can help someone, thanks to Hallucinations !

Your request data doesn't need to be wrapped in a params object when you do $http.post. In your client code, try replacing $scope.canceled with this code:

$scope.canceled = function() {
    $http.post(pushUrl, {
        user: "Mélanie",
        name: "Sortie à la salle",
        tag: "servertest"
    }).success(function(data) {
        console.log("Success bro !" + data)
    }).error(function(data) {
        alert("ERROR" + data);
    });
}

I have the same error when I try ... Maybe it comes from this in server.js: var user = req.body.user, name = req.body.name, tag = req.body.tag; – PalmThreeStudio Mar 16 '16 at 19:55

Works fine in my test app. Could you provide the stack trace for the error if you want me to help? – hallucinations Mar 16 '16 at 20:33
Sorry I'm developer since 1 year so I don't know what is this ... Maybe you want my log ? – PalmThreeStudio Mar 16 '16 at 20:38

Read [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3988788/what-is-a-stack-trace-and-how-can-i-use-it-to-debug-my-application-errors) to know what stack trace is. If your log has the details of the error, edit your question and add it there. – hallucinations Mar 16 '16 at 20:45
What you have added is not stack trace. Rather it's the request details from your browser I believe. What I was asking for the details of the error from your Node.js server logs. – hallucinations Mar 16 '16 at 21:03
