I get the error that the body is not defined in expres?
- In your route, you have to return a response other wise the request will hang:
main.js
router.post('/post/post', (req,res)=>{ console.log(req.body) const resObject = { ... do something with req.body ... }; return res.status(201).json(resObject);});- In your app entrypoint, set your routes after your config and middleware:
app.js
const express = require('express')const path = require('path')const app = express()const port= 3000const hostname = '127.0.0.1'const mongoose = require('mongoose')const main = require('./routes/main')var bodyParser = require('body-parser');/* config */mongoose.connect('mongodb://127.0.0.1/nodemon_db',{ useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology:true})/* Middleware */app.use(express.static('static'))app.engine('handlebars', require('exphbs'))app.set('view engine','handlebars')app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }))app.use(bodyParser.json())/* Routes */app.use('/', main)app.listen(port, hostname, () => console.log(`Example app listening on port http://${hostname}:${port}/`)
