app.post('/profile', function (req, res, next) {
console.log(req.body)
res.json(req.body)
})how to access the req.body
const express = require('express')
const app = express()
app.use(
express.urlencoded({
extended: true
})
)
app.use(express.json())req.body
(req.body, ' ' , ' ') --> here req is the parameter of your function and using this parameter your can access the properties over then url.
so look this example
suppose this is form
<form>
enter the name : <input type="text" name="name">
<button type ="submit"> submit </button>
</form>
so if you want to access the name -- which is filled by the user end.
so for this you can
do like this-> console.log(req.body.name); -- this will print the name (property) in console.Copyright © 2021 Codeinu
