Express nodejs POST method return empty brackets - node.js

Question

I can't get the value in my form. I am using a basic HTML form to send my data. When I try to test the return of the POST method in the console, I can't find the value of my input. This is my code:
let express = require('express');
let app = express();
// Moteur de template
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
// Middleware
app.use('/assets', express.static('public'));
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(express.json());
// Routes
app.get('/', (request, response) => {
response.render('pages/index');
});
app.post('/', (req, res, next) => {
console.log(req.body);
});
app.listen(8080);
my console always return {}

Answer 1

Add this to the front of your code:
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended : true}));
app.use(express.json());
body-parser is no longer needed, as this feature is already provided in express.js.
also I would suggest you to do const express = require('express'); const app = express(); instead of let express = require('express'); let app = express();.

Answer 2

Do npm install 'body-parser
Then update your code like this
let express = require('express');
let app = express();
// For FORM input
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
// Moteur de template
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
// Middleware
app.use('/assets', express.static('public'));
// Body parser For forms Actions
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended:true}));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
// Routes
app.get('/', (request, response) => {
response.render('pages/index');
});
app.post('/', (req, res, next) => {
console.log(req.body);
});
app.listen(8080);
This should fix it
