req.body is undefined mean app

Question

I have an issue on my app. The simple way to tell you whats the problem let mme show you my code

var Meetup = require('./models/meetup');



module.exports.create = function (req, res) {
  var meetup = new Meetup(req.body);
  console.log(req.body);
  meetup.save(function (err, result) {
    console.log(result);
    res.json(result);
  });
}

module.exports.list = function (req, res) {
  Meetup.find({}, function (err, results) {
    res.json(results);
  });
}

console.log(req.body); outputs undefined console.log(result); outputs { __v: 0, _id: 5836ce6c38485021ec195a82 }while it should output { __v: 0,name:'text input' _id: 5836ce6c38485021ec195a82 }

here is my angular controller :

myApp.controller('meetupsController', ['$scope', '$resource', function ($scope, $resource) {
  var Meetup = $resource('/api/meetups');
$scope.meetups = []

  Meetup.query(function (results) {
    $scope.meetups = results;
  });


  $scope.createMeetup = function () {
    var meetup = new Meetup();
    meetup.name = $scope.meetupName;
    meetup.$save(function (result) {
      $scope.meetups.push(result);
      $scope.meetupName = '';
    });
  }
}]);

And my model :

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;

var Meetup = new Schema({
  name: String,
  text:String,

});


module.exports = mongoose.model('Meetup', Meetup);

Thank you for your help. PS i use bodyparser

Are you sure that type of request is POST? and bodyParser included before all routes? — Mykola Borysyuk, Nov 24 '16 at 16:06

If req.body is undefined then you need to:

make sure you use the body-parser on the backend
make sure you pass the correct data on the frontend
make sure that the data passed by your frontend is in the correct place (body)
make sure that the data is in the correct format (JSON? URL-encoded?)
open the Network tab in the developer console of your browser and see what is transferred
