sending an post request with mongoose but data is not saving in database I don't even getting error...

JavaScript modules:-

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const { ejson } = require("ejs");
const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const path = require('path')
const fs = require("fs");
const bodyParser = require("body-parser")
const { urlencoded } = require("express");
const port = 5000;
const hostname = '127.0.0.1';

//middlewares

app.use('/static', express.static(path.join(__dirname, "../static")));
app.use('/static', express.static('static'))
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/static'));

//HTTP GET Requests:-

app.get('/index.html', function(req, res) {
    res.status(200).render(__dirname + '/index.html');
})
app.get('/contact.html', function(req, res) {
    res.sendFile(__dirname + '/contact.html')
});
app.engine('html', require('ejs').renderFile);

//Server

app.listen(port, () => {
    // console.log(`The Server Has Been Started On Port ${port}`)
});

//MongoDb Mongoose

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/moonform', { 
    useNewUrlParser: true, 
    useUnifiedTopology: true 
});
let db = mongoose.connection;
db.on('error', console.error.bind(console, 'connection error:'));
db.once('open', function() {
    console.log("We are connected");

//Mongoose Schema:-

const moonSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    myname: String,
    number: Number,
    email: String,
    city: String,
    age: Number,
    gender: String
});

//Mongoose Model

let moon = mongoose.model('moon', moonSchema);

//Post Request

app.post('/contact', (req, res) => {
    let myData = new moon(req.body)
    myData.save().then((err, myData) => {
            res.send("This item has been saved to the database")
        })
        .catch(() => {
            res.status(400).send("item was not saved to the databse")
        });
});

//Mongoose Find

moon.find({ name: "moonform" }, function(err, myData) {
    if (err) return console.error(err);
    console.log(moon)
});

Answer 1

Ok. Just try this.

//don't forget to wrap this inside async function
const result=await moon.find({});
console.log(result)

If this still gives an error that means your req.body might be empty

Answer 2

well i finally figured out my problem that only thing that is missing in the code was..

app.use(express.urlencoded());
