Example 1: body parser express
npm i body-parser
const express = require('express')
const bodyParser = require('body-parser')
const app = express()
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }))
app.use(bodyParser.json())
app.use(function (req, res) {
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain')
res.write('you posted:\n')
res.end(JSON.stringify(req.body, null, 2))

app.use(bodyParser.json());
try {
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/YOUR_DB_NAME', {
useNewUrlParser: true,
useUnifiedTopology: true,
useCreateIndex: true,
}, () =>
console.log("connected"));
} catch (error) {
console.log("could not connect");
}
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
res.send("home");
});
app.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`Server is listening on port ${PORT}`));
