It means that using the bodyParser   constructor has been deprecated   as of 2014-06-19   app use bodyParser       Now deprecated   You now need to call the methods separately  app use bodyParser urlencoded      app use bodyParser json       And so on   If you re still getting a warning with urlencoded you need to use  app use bodyParser urlencoded     extended  true        The extended config object key now needs to be explicitly passed  since it now has no default value   If you are using Express    4 16 0  body parser has been re-added under the methods express json   and express urlencoded

I found that while adding  app use bodyParser json     app use bodyParser urlencoded     extended  true        helps  sometimes it s a matter of your querying that determines how express handles it    For instance  it could be that your parameters are passed in the URL rather than in the body  In such a case  you need to capture both the body and url parameters and use whichever is available  with preference for the body parameters in the case below   app route   echo        all  req res   gt           let pars    Object keys req body  length  gt  0  req body req query          res send pars

body-parser is a piece of express middleware that           reads a form s input and stores it as a javascript           object accessible through req body           body-parser  must be installed  via npm install --save body-parser  For more info see  https   github com expressjs body-parser      var bodyParser   require  body-parser       app use bodyParser json        support json encoded bodies    app use bodyParser urlencoded   extended  true         support encoded bodies   When extended is set to true  then deflated  compressed  bodies will be inflated  when extended is set to false  deflated bodies are rejected

Want zero warnings  Use it like this   app use bodyParser json     app use bodyParser urlencoded     extended  true        Explanation  The default value of the extended option has been deprecated  meaning you need to explicitly pass true or false value

In older versions of express  we had to use   app use express bodyparser        because body-parser was a middleware between node and  express  Now we have to use it like   app use bodyParser urlencoded   extended  false      app use bodyParser json

If you re using express  gt  4 16  you can use express json   and express urlencoded    The express json   and express urlencoded   middleware have been added to provide request body parsing support out-of-the-box  This uses the expressjs body-parser module module underneath  so apps that are currently requiring the module separately can switch to the built-in parsers   Source Express 4 16 0 - Release date  2017-09-28 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
