What happened to the code from the challenge before this one? Where are you using the body-parser middleware?

[ychris]

I don’t really understand your question, but I try to follow the instructions. Sorry is there any thing that am missing?
The code ones again. Please tell me where am wrong

`var express = require(‘express’);
var app = express();
var bodyParser = require(‘body-parser’);

app.post(’/name’, (req, res) => {
let name = req.body.first + ’ ’ + req.body.last;
res.json({name: ‘firstname lastname’});
});

module.exports = app;
`

[Sylvant]

you are missing the middleware mounted app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
Did you not follow correctly the instructions for the previous challenge?
For you to read the req.body, it first needs to be decoded by the bodyParser method(which is a middleware)
