// Update for Express 4.16+
// Starting with release 4.16.0, a new express.json() middleware is available.
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
app.use(express.json());
app.post('/', function(request, response){
console.log(request.body); // your JSON
response.send(request.body); // echo the result back
});
app.listen(3000);var express = require('express')
var app = express()
app.use(express.json()) // for parsing application/json
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true })) // for parsing application/x-www-form-urlencoded
app.post('/profile', function (req, res, next) {
console.log(req.body)
res.json(req.body)
})
(req.body, ' ' , ' ') --> here req is the parameter of your function and using this parameter your can access the properties over then url.
so look this example
suppose this is form
<form>
enter the name : <input type="text" name="name">
<button type ="submit"> submit </button>
</form>
so if you want to access the name -- which is filled by the user end.
so for this you can
do like this-> console.log(req.body.name); -- this will print the name (property) in console.
