app.use(app.router); 
app.use(express.cookieParser());
app.use(express.session({ secret: \"keyboard cat\" }         


        

Answer 1

First make sure , you have installed npm module named 'body-parser' by calling :

npm install body-parser --save

Then make sure you have included following lines before calling routes

var express = require('express');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var app = express();

app.use(bodyParser.json());
