Express req.body returns empty
I could not figure out why its empty, I added body parser and also see other posts no answers solved my problem, I am new to this below is my code:
I checked many other places and here also (Node.js/Express form post req.body not working)
My app.js:
var createError = require('http-errors');
var express = require('express');
var path = require('path');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var logger = require('morgan');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser')
var indexRouter = require('./routes/index');
var usersRouter = require('./routes/users');
var notesRouter = require('./routes/notes');
var app = express();
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended:true}));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
// view engine setup
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
//app.set('view engine', 'jade');
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
app.use(logger('dev'));
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(cookieParser());
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
app.use('/', indexRouter);
app.use('/users', usersRouter);
app.use('/notes', notesRouter);
// catch 404 and forward to error handler
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
next(createError(404));
});
// error handler
app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {
// set locals, only providing error in development
res.locals.message = err.message;
res.locals.error = req.app.get('env') === 'development' ? err : {};
// render the error page
res.status(err.status || 500);
res.render('error');
});
module.exports = app;
my html form:
<form action="/notes" method="POST" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
<input placeholder="Title" type="text"> <br />
<textarea placeholder="Details"></textarea> <br />
<input type="submit" value="Save" />
</form>
and my notes route where I post the form:
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
/* GET home page. */
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
res.render('notes', { title: 'Express' });
});
/* POST home page. */
router.post('/', function(req, res, next) {
console.log('------------------------------------------posted notes----');
console.log(req);
console.log(req.body);
//console.log(res);
console.log('-----------');
//console.log(req);
//res.render('notes', { title: 'Express' });
});
module.exports = router;
