req.body empty on posts

by

In Postman of the 3 options available for content type select “X-www-form-urlencoded” and it should work.

Also to get rid of error message replace:

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded())

With:

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
  extended: true
}));

See https://github.com/expressjs/body-parser

The ‘body-parser’ middleware only handles JSON and urlencoded data, not multipart

As @SujeetAgrahari mentioned, body-parser is now inbuilt with express.js.

Use app.use(express.json()); to implement it in recent versions for JSON bodies. For URL encoded bodies (the kind produced by HTTP form POSTs) use app.use(express.urlencoded());
