My POST from html returns no value, nodejs, express
I am trying to do a simple post from a html page and when I check the console after post it returns nothing. I am using the server side body parser correctly. Is there something I am doing wrong?
var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');
var express = require('express');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var path = require('path');
//var routes = require('./routes');
//****** Mongodb Code *********************************************
var mongodb = require('mongodb');
var Db = require('mongodb').Db;
var assert = require('assert');
var MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
var ObjectID = require('mongodb').ObjectID;
var url = 'mongodb://localhost:27017/test';
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
//*****************************************************************
var app = express();
/*
var index = fs.readFileSync('index.html')
var signin = fs.readFileSync('signin.html')
var createaccount = fs.readFileSync('createaccount.html')
var forgotpassword = fs.readFileSync('forgotpassword.html')
var account = fs.readFileSync('account.html')
var upload = fs.readFileSync('uploadphoto.html')
*/
/*
var serv = http.createServer(function (req, res){
res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/html; char=utf-8'});
res.end(index);
})
*/
// app.set('views',__dirname + '/views');
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname)));
app.use(bodyParser.json())
app.get("/forgotpassword", function(req, res){
res.render('forgotpassword');
})
app.post("/forgotpassword", function(req,res){
console.log(req.body);
})
app.listen(3000);
console.log("Express server listening on port 3000.")
below is my html code.
<body>
<div id="header">
<div id="link">
<a href="/" align="right">Home</a>
<a align="right" href="signin">Sign-in</a>
</div>
<div id="logo">
<center><h1><i>IMGCAPTURE</i></h1></center>
</div>
</div>
<div id="forgotpassword">
<form id="enteremail" action="forgotpassword" method="POST">
<center><h1><i>Enter Your Email:</i></h1></center><br><br>
<center><input id="useremail" name="email" type="email"></input></center><br>
