// Setup empty JS object to act as endpoint for all routes

// Require Express to run server and routes

const express = require('express');

const app = express();
// Start up an instance of app

const PORT = 8080;
app.listen(PORT, () => {
    console.log('Hi');
    console.log(`the port that we will use is ${port}`);
});



/* Middleware*/
//Here we are configuring express to use body-parser as middle-ware.
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(bodyParser.json());

// Cors for cross origin allowance
app.use(cors());
// Initialize the main project folder
app.use(express.static('website'));


// Setup Server
app.post('/link', function(req,res) {
    
});

CodePudding user response：

I think you need to install the 'body-parser' library and send it to call in your file

npm install body-parser

const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.use(bodyParser.json());

CodePudding user response：

You don't need to use bodyparser if you use latest or after 4.0 version of Express.js. You can use

app.use(express.json()) // Parse Json Bodies
app.use(express.urlencoded()); //Parse URL-encoded bodies

as middlewares instead, without any package. They will solve your problem.
