Post request to my express server returns an error

Question

Im just getting started with node and express and im trying to make a post request and push the results to an array for now. In the future i will be making these requests to a database, but for learning purposes i am doing this to an array now. Getting responses works, post requests gives me an error in postman.

const express = require('express');
const app = express(); 
const port = 5000;
const arr = []; 

app.use(express.json());

app.post('/' , (req,res) => {
    arr.push(req.body);
    res.send(arr);
})


app.listen(port, () => {console.log(`listening on port ${port}`)});

Sadly the postman error doesnt tell me much.

The error :

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>Error</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <pre>Cannot POST /</pre>
    </body>
</html>

The request :

{
"app" : "Post"
}

Actually you code is running in my machine, maybe you just forgot some postman configuration.

content-type: application/json
method: post
row data: {"data": "test"}
