使用请求模块发送POST请求，但获取的数据数组几乎为空

Question

I'm trying to send a POST request to an API using the request module but when i console.log the data sent it seems only the time , approved status and id are sent which is by default from the model schema but the rest data are not sent. I need help. This is what is sent instead of something like this

console.log(req.body) when i send data with Postman

the request body when i send data with request module

 let mongoose = require('mongoose'); //models config let jobSchema = new mongoose.Schema({ title: String, category: String, description: String, type: String, url: String, email: String, apply: String, location: String, company: String, // path: String, approved: {type: Boolean, default: false}, created: {type: Date, default: Date.now, expires: 1000} }) let Job = mongoose.model('Job', jobSchema); module.exports = Job; 

//This is from another file :helpers
exports.createJob = (req, res) => {
    db.Job.create(req.body)
    .then((newJob) => {
        res.status(201).json(newJob)
    })
    .catch((err) => {
        res.send(err)
    })

}

//post
    app.get('/jobs/add', (req, res) => {
        res.render('add')
    })

    app.post('/jobs', (req, res)=>{
        // let formBody = {
     //                 title: req.title,
        //          category: req.category,
        //          description: req.body.description,
        //          type: req.body.type,
        //          url: req.body.url,
        //          email: req.bodyemail,
        //          apply: req.body.apply,
        //          location: req.body.location,
        //          company: req.body.company,
     //                 // path: fullPath,
     //                 createdAt: Date.now()
     //            };
        console.log()
        request.post({url:'http://localhost:3000/api/jobs/', form: {key:'value'}}, function optionalCallback(err, response, body) {
          if (err) {
            return console.error('upload failed:', err);
          }else{
            console.log('Upload successful!  Server responded with:', body);
            }
            return res.redirect('/jobs')
        });
    })

remember to start app.js with body-parser urlencoded and json for json data tested and works

 //in app.js require("dotenv").config(); //to read env variable not needed const express = require("express"); const bodyParser = require("body-parser"); const mongoose = require("mongoose"); const dbUrl = process.env.DB_URI; //from env variable const Model = require('./models/model.model'); mongoose .connect( dbUrl, { useNewUrlParser: true } ) .then(() => console.log("Connected")) .catch(error => console.log("Failed " + error)); const app = express(); app.use((req, res, next) => { res.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*"); res.setHeader( "Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept" ); res.setHeader( "Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "GET, POST, PATCH, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS" ); next(); }); **app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false })); app.use(bodyParser.json());** htmlObject = ` <div class="add-container"> <form name="myForm" action="/job" method="POST" > <div class="form-group"> <h2>Title(Junior/Graduate/Intern)</h2> <input type="text" name="job[title]" placeholder="eg: Junior Front-End Developer" class="form-control" id="title" required="title"> </div> <div class="form-group"> <h2>Company Name</h2> <input type="text" name="company" placeholder="eg: Microsoft" class="form-control" required="company"> </div> <div class="form-group"> <h2>Job Description</h2> <textarea id="mytextarea" name="description" placeholder="eg: We are looking for a Front-End developer with about a year of experience in HTML, CSS, javaScript.
