How I can use getBodyParsed() with put or Patch mathod?  
When I do  
bodyParams=$request-\>getParsedBody();  
return $response-\>write(json\_encode($bodyParams));  
it returns null with PATCH or PUT.

As far as I know the Slim `$request->getParsedBody()` method is only for the http `POST` method and not for PUT/PATCH methods.

More details: [https://github.com/slimphp/Slim/issues/1396](https://github.com/slimphp/Slim/issues/1396)

But you could implement your own PUT/PATCH middleware:

```php
$app->add(function ($request, $response, $next) {
    if($request->isPatch() || $request->isPut()) {
        parse_str($request->getBody()->__toString(), $data);
        $request = $request->withParsedBody($data);
    }

    return $next($request, $response);
});

```
