nodejs client can`t signup to nodejs passport based authentication service - node.js

Question

I am trying to implement nodejs express passport axios based server-client communication. My goal push files to the server using the terminal. But first I try to implement an authentication service. I have passport auth service which works well when I signing throw postman app.
Also, I have implemented nodejs based client, which try signup to the server but without success.

my client:
const axios = require('axios')
const prompt = require('prompt')
var prompt_attributes = [
{
name: 'username',
validator: /^[a-zA-Z\s\-]+$/,
warning: 'Username is not valid, it can only contains letters, spaces, or dashes'
},
{
name: 'password',
hidden: true
}
]
prompt.start();
prompt.get(prompt_attributes, function (err, result) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
return 1;
}else {
console.log('Command-line received data:');
const username = result.username
const password = result.password
const config = {
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
}
}
const reqBody = {
username: username,
password: password
}
axios.post('http://localhost:3005/login', reqBody, config).then(response => {
console.log(response.data);
}).catch(error => {
console.log(error);
})
}
});
also tried 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8' but it not help.
server:
import * as express from 'express'
const app = express()
const passport = require('passport')
const LocalStrategy = require('passport-local').Strategy
const bcrypt = require('bcryptjs')
app.use(require('cookie-parser')())
app.use(require('body-parser').urlencoded({ extended: true }))
app.use(passport.initialize())
const port = 3005
/* DATABASE */
import { MongoClient, ObjectID } from 'mongodb'
const mongoUrl = "mongodb://localhost:27017/";
/* AUTHENTICATION */
MongoClient.connect(mongoUrl, async (err, db) => {
const myDB = db.db('mydb')
const Users = myDb.collection('users')
passport.serializeUser(function(user, done) {
done(null, user);
});
passport.deserializeUser(function(user, done) {
done(null, user);
});
passport.use(new LocalStrategy(
function(username, password, done) {
Users.findOne({ username: username }, async function(err, user) {
console.log('USER FROM DB:', user)
console.log('PASS from client', password)
if (err) { return done(err); }
if (!user){
return done(null, false, { message: 'Incorrect username.' });
}
const res = await bcrypt.compare(password, user.password)
return res ? done(null, user) : done(null, false, { message: 'Incorrect username.' })
})
}))
app.post('/login',passport.authenticate('local'), (req, res) =>
{
res.send('logined as ' + req.user.username)
}
)
app.listen(port, () => console.log('http server listening on port '+port+'!'))
})
Also, I found that my request body is parsed strange on the server when it`s come from node client and it is parsed correctly when it's coming from postman.
request body from nodejs axios client:
{ '{"username":"gefalko","password":"mypass"}': '' }
request body from postman client:
{"username":"gefalko","password":"mypass"}

Try this format :
var qs = require('qs');
axios.post('/foo', qs.stringify({ 'bar': 123 } , config);
