Value undefined in express route

Issue

I have declared this method here

exports.postRedisValue = function(req,res) {
        
    let keyRedis = req.body.key;
    let valueRedis = req.body.value;

    console.log(keyRedis); //throws undefined 
    if(keyRedis && valueRedis){
    client.setex(
        keyRedis,3600,valueRedis);
        res.send(`Key and value are now set key is ${keyRedis} and value ${valueRedis}`);
    }else{
        res.send("Missing key or value");
    }

}

When i am trying to create a key and a value in redis through a form

In routes.js I have declared the route

router.post('/createKeyValue',redisController.postRedisValue);

In the server.js I have declared starting point

const redisRoute = require('../routes/routes');

const app = express();

const PORT = 3001;
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded()); 

app.use("/redisLogic",redisRoute);



app.listen(PORT,() =>{
    console.log("SERVER r");
})

But it keeps throwing undefined variable when trying to send a post request to /redisLogic/createKeyValue. What am i missing ?

The request that is being sent

Solution

Seems that you have not made use of body-parser npm package in your application.

Try using body-parser npm package

Install it with.

npm install --save body-parser

And inside your node app, use it with

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