I'm using jquery to post results:

 $(document).ready(function(){            

          $("#submit").click(function(){                                      
                   $.post("/addGrade", 
              {"name": "test"},
              function(data, status)
              {     
                console.log("OK");
                $("#rc").val("OK");                                           
                      });

    }); // fnction

 }); // ready

but I'm getting undefined results:

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.use(bodyParser.json())



app.post('/addGrade', function(req, res) {
  console.log("[/addGrade] Got New Grade: " + req.body.name);
  res.send("OK");
});

In Node.js log I can see: "[/addGrade] Got New Grade: undefined"

What am I missing ?

Why don't you log your response to see what properties it has `console.log(res)` – Ayo K Nov 20 '17 at 18:06
I have tried, but I got " [object Object]" which doesn't help much – user3668129 Nov 20 '17 at 18:08
Did you try `res.body` then – Ayo K Nov 20 '17 at 18:10
yes, same results – user3668129 Nov 20 '17 at 18:11
Try `console.log(JSON.stringify(res))` – Ayo K Nov 20 '17 at 18:13
I'm getting "TypeError: Converting circular structure to JSON" – user3668129 Nov 20 '17 at 18:18

I read it, and don't understand why there is circular ? I'm sending {"name": "test"}. – user3668129 Nov 20 '17 at 18:25
Might be something with your body-parser – Ayo K Nov 20 '17 at 18:31
