If you're using express > 4.16, you can use express.json() and express.urlencoded()
The
express.json()andexpress.urlencoded()middleware have been added to provide request body parsing support out-of-the-box. This uses theexpressjs/body-parsermodule module underneath, so apps that are currently requiring the module separately can switch to the built-in parsers.

With this,
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
becomes,
const express = require('express');
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(express.json());
