There are some difference between express3.X and 4X in usage of app.router and bodyParser
how to avoid below errors in nodejs and expressjs
Most middleware like bodyparser is no longer bundled with Express
means you have not installed bodyparser , you have to install it as below
npm install body-parser
use this site for usage for body-Parser
https://www.npmjs.com/package/body-parser

App.js
ignore the commented lines in the below code
var express = require('express');
var path = require('path');
var http = require('http');
var app = express();
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var path = require('path');
var http = require('http');
var app = express();
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
/*var urlencodedParser = bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false });*/
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded());
app.set('port',process.env.PORT || 3000);
app.set('views',__dirname + '/views');
app.set('view engine','jade');
app.set('views',__dirname + '/views');
app.set('view engine','jade');
/*app.use(app.router);*/
/*var people = express.Router();*/
/*var people = express.Router();*/
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname,'public')));
/*app.get('/about',function(req,res){
res.send("about naveen");
});*/
app.post('/user',function(req,res){
res.send("requested user name" + req.body.name);
});
res.send("requested user name" + req.body.name);
});
/*app.get('/user/:username',function(req,res){
res.send(" "+ req.params.username + " profile");
});*/
res.send(" "+ req.params.username + " profile");
});*/
/*app.get('/',function(req,res){
res.send("hello......");
});*/
//app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
res.send("hello......");
});*/
//app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
var server = http.createServer(app).listen(app.get('port'),function(){
console.log('Express server listening on port' + app.get('port'));
});
console.log('Express server listening on port' + app.get('port'));
});
place the file index.html in the Public folder
then start node app.js
