node.js POST empty req.body - node.js

Question

I'm having trouble when I store data to MySQL database. I get a return in console blank.like this {}
here's route code :::app.post('/create', employeeController.create);
this is my controller code
exports.create = function(req, res) {
console.log((req.body));
const new_employee = new Employee(req.body);
//handles null error
if(req.body.constructor === Object && Object.keys(req.body).length === 0){
res.status(400).send({ error:true, message: 'Please provide all required field' });
}else{
Employee.create(new_employee, function(err, employee) {
if (err)
res.send(err);
res.json({error:false,message:"Employee added successfully!",data:employee});
});
}
};
this is my model code:
var db = require('../database');
//Employee object create
var Employee = function(employee){
this.name = employee.name;
this.email = employee.email;
this.position = employee.position;
};
Employee.create = function (newEmp, result) {
db.query("INSERT INTO employee set ?", newEmp, function (err, res) {
if(err) {
console.log("error: ", err);
result(err, null);
}
else{
console.log(res.insertId);
result(null, res.insertId);
}
});
};
module.exports= Employee;
my view code:
<form action="/create" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<label>Name</label>
<input name="name" type="text" class="form-control" required>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<label>Email</label>
<input name="email" type="email" class="form-control" required>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<label for="exampleFormControlTextarea1" class="form-label">Position</label>
<input name="position" type="text" class="form-control" required>
</div>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Save</button>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Cancel</button>
<br><br>
</form>
Im getting {} in log it means req.body is getting blank.
i have tried in app.js
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({limit: '100mb',extended: false }));
but it's not working

Answer 1

Add app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false })) before your app.use(bodyParser.json());, and remove app.use(express.urlencoded({limit: '100mb',extended: false }));.
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }))
app.use(bodyParser.json());
Then remove enctype="multipart/form-data" in the form. Because your form only have text input, so you could remove it. And bodyParser doesn't support multipart/form-data.
