To handle HTTP POST
requests in Express.js version 4 and above, you need to install the middleware module called body-parser
.
body-parser
extracts the entire body portion of an incoming request stream and exposes it on req.body
.
The middleware was a part of Express.js earlier but now you have to install it separately.
This body-parser
module parses the JSON, buffer, string and URL encoded data submitted using HTTP POST
request. Install body-parser
using NPM as shown below.
npm install body-parser --save
edit in 2019-april-2: in [email protected] the body-parser middleware bundled with express. for more details see this
