my code :

Answer 1

If you are here, after May-2020 that means you are surely using node of version v13.12.0.. So, app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }))

This Surely Gonna works for You....#peace

Answer 2

Set limit 50 MB for avoid data handling error., In urlencode limit 50mb is for help you to pass imageData throw url

  app.use(bodyParser.json({
        limit : '50mb'    ///////// LIMIT for JSON
      }));

    app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
        limit : '50mb', ///////// LIMIT for URL ENCODE (image data)
        extended : true
      }));

Answer 3

Attention: With express version => 4.16.0 the body-parser middleware was added back under the methods express.urlencoded() and express.json()

Which can be used as:

app.use(express.urlencoded({extended: true})); 
app.use(express.json());   

Answer 4

The error says you need to provide the extended option for the body-parser like so:

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }))

Answer 5

You have to explicitly set extended for bodyParser.urlencoded() since the default value is going to change in the next major version of body-parser. Example:

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));

Since express 4.16.0, you can also do:

app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }))

Answer 6

As from Express version 4.16.0, you're expected to pass in extended property inside the bodyParser.urlencoded()

//  parse JSON-encoded bodies and URL-encoded bodies
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
