Data is not stored in mongoDB database - node.js - node.js

Question

I write node.js code and try to insert data into a mongodb database by Postman (post) but the data is not saved, only _id and _v are inserted into the documents ,that are entered automatically. I think the problem is in the body-parser, it is deprecated, but I tried a few options and it remained deprecated. (I'm not sure the problem with bodyparser).The data were inserteded via Postman(post). This is the relevant node.js code:
const express = require ('express');
const mongoose = require ('mongoose');
const router = require ('./routes/api');
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
const dotenv = require('dotenv');
dotenv.config();
const app = express();
.
.
.
app.use(bodyParser.json());//this bodyParser is deprecated
app.use('/',router);
model:
const mongoose = require ('mongoose');
const userSchema = mongoose.Schema({
name:{
type:String,
require
},
password:{
type:String,
minlength:8,
require
}
})
module.exports = mongoose.model('User', userSchema);
controller:
const User = require ('../models/User');
const newUser = async (req,res)=>{
let user1 = new User(
req.body);
console.log(`${user1} added`);
try{
await user1.save();
res.status(200).json({newUser:user1});
}
catch(error){
res.send(`cant save new user: ${error.message}`)
}
}
module.exports = { newUser }
This is what I wrote in Postman:
{
"name":"james",
"password":"12345678"
}
and this is the response:
{
"newUser": {
"_id": "60a68f815019f31cfc098572",
"__v": 0
}
}
I would be very happy to get help !!

Please make the following changes to get the desired result.
// In place of app.use(bodyParser.json()), use
app.use(express.json())
// Controller
const userSchema = require("../models/User");
const newUser = async (req, res) => {
let user1 = new userSchema({
name: req.body.name,
password: req.body.password,
});
console.log(`${user1} added`);
try {
await user1.save().then(() => res.status(201).json({ newUser: user1 }));
} catch (error) {
res.send(`cant save new user: ${error.message}`);
}
};
module.exports = { newUser };
Also, inside the user schema, please change require to required: true.
// Model
const userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
name:{
type: String,
required: true
},
password:{
type: String,
minLength:8,
required: true
}
})

Modify your model.js file. It will check if anything is missing in req.body
const mongoose = require ('mongoose');
const userSchema = mongoose.Schema({
name:{
type:String,
required: true
},
password:{
type:String,
minlength:8,
required: true
}
})
module.exports = mongoose.model('User', userSchema);
