Getting started with express - node.js

Question

I am just getting started learning node.js and express, so forgive me if my question uses the wrong terminology. Hey, gotta start somewhere I guess. So I am following an online tutorial and it aint doing what its supposed to do. (I've got soapui and postman installed, also just learning the ropes) So to the code:
// Defined store route
gameRoutes.route('/add').post(function(req, res) {
let game = new Game(req.body);
game.save()
.then(game => {
res.status(200).json({
'game': 'CoGamein added successfully'
});
})
.catch(err => {
res.status(400).send("unable to save to database");
});
});
Tried using the insert code widget but failed miserably, sorry! Anyway what's happening is the data is added to the database but the res.status(200).json({'game': 'CoGamein added successfully'}); is not firing, and VScode gives me a vague error that let game = new Game(req.body); data is not read! Any ideas whats going on?
// Game.js
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
// Define collection and schema for Games
let Game = new Schema({
name: {
type: String
},
price: {
type: Number
}
},{
collection: 'games'
});
module.exports = mongoose.model('Game', Game);

Try this
gameRoutes.route('/add').post(function (req, res) {
let game = new Game(req.body);
game.save()
.then(game => {
res.send({
game: 'CoGamein added successfully'
});
})
.catch(err => {
res.status(400).send("unable to save to database");
});
});
200 is the default success status. You don't need to mention that.
