req.body undefined on method POST (Express.js)

Question

I'm doing a MERN test project.

But at the time of testing a post method is not returning the value sent.

enter image description here

Any idea what the problem might be?

In the future, please just paste the code in instead of making us deal with screenshots. — Haider, Oct 03 '19 at 21:24

use in app.js

app.use(express.json());

OR

If you want to simple boilerplate and Expressjs project structure then use Express application generator https://expressjs.com/en/starter/generator.html

Looks like he had a mistake in the line you're indicating. Instead of using the use() method I had written unsubscribe(). The suggestion fixed the error. – Daniel Vera Oct 03 '19 at 21:15

With the help of the comments detect the origin of the problem. A typing error ‍♂️ : when calling server.unsubscribe(express.json()) instead of using server.use(express.json());

Correcting this line fixed the problem. ✌
