Just like using req.query we can do req.body to get our data. This challenge is very similar to "Get Query Parameter Input from the Client."
|
|
|
|
In order to get data from a post request a general format is:
|
|
|
|
## Hint
|
|
```javascript
|
|
app.post(PATH, function(req, res) {
|
|
// Handle the data in the request
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Solution
|
|
```javascript
|
|
app.post('/name', function(req, res) {
|
|
// Handle the data in the request
|
|
var string = req.body.first+ ' '+req.body.last;
|
|
res.json({"name": string});
|
|
});
|
|
```
