express.js form post req.body is empty body {} - node.js

Question

I have the following reactjs code and using expressjs to handle the post request. req.body always returns {} from the app. But it works in Postman.
my reactjs code snippet:
handleSubmit(e) {
e.preventDefault();
fetch(config.urlDev + '/notes', {
method: 'post',
body: { "email":"test" },
//headers: {'Content-Type':'x-www-form-urlencoded'}
headers: {'Content-Type':'application/json'}
})
.then((res) => res.json())
.then((res) => {
console.log(res)
})
.catch((err) => {
console.log(err)
})
}
my expressjs code snippet:
module.exports = function (app, db) {
app.post('/notes', (req, res) => {
console.log(req.body)
console.log(req.params)
res.send(req.body)
})
}
server.js:
const express = require('express');
const MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient
const bodyParser = require('body-parser')
const db = require('./config/db');
const app = express();
const port = 8000;
const cors = require('cors');
const path = require('path');
app.use(cors())
//app.use(bodyParser.json())
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended:true}))
MongoClient.connect(db.url, {useUnifiedTopology: true}, (err, database) => {
if (err) return console.log(err)
const mydb = database.db('notes')
require('./app/routes') (app, mydb);
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log ("server on " + port)
})
})
postman

Answer 1

Try un-commenting the line
//app.use(bodyParser.json()) and it should work.
or alternatively if you are sending headers in the fetch request as headers: {'Content-Type':'x-www-form-urlencoded'} instead of headers: {'Content-Type':'application/json'} it should work.
