req.body results empty with Express-CodePudding

I'm trying to make a POST request with Express, but req.body result to be empty {}. I've tried with Postman, and it works. I noticed that the input fields after submit are correct so I can't figure out what the problem is. Attached you can find the code I've written for the POST request. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Try to add this middleware before your routes.

const express = require('express');
const app = express();

app.use(express.json()); // <---

There are a lot more detailed explained answers here on StackOverflow addressed to this question. Please research them first. You can see here.

I think what you're missing is:

const express = require('express')
const app = express()

// Parse URL-encoded bodies (as sent by HTML forms)
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));

// Parse JSON bodies (as sent by API clients)
app.use(express.json());

// other code below...
