I'm getting a undefined req.body when i try to send data on postman using body form-data and i'm able to get it when I use raw json only. Am I missing something which doesn't allow me to get the form data?

CodePudding user response：

after the current update of node form-data has been removed from the nodejs now if you want get data from formdata you have to use multer then only you will be able to get data in req.body

CodePudding user response：

Other solution would be to downgrade node.js in case u don't want to add multer just for this.
