Can't seem to get anything from request.body with POST

[didymu5]

Server.js is as follows

app.use(
  '/api',
  apiMocker('api', {
    target: 'api',
    bodyParser: {
      type: 'urlencoded',
      options: { extended: true }
    },    
    verbose: ({ req, filePath, fileType }) =>
      console.log(
        `Mocking endpoint ${req.originalUrl} using ${filePath}.${fileType}.`
      )
  })
)

POST.js is as follows

module.exports = function (request, response) {
console.log(request.body)
return   response.sendFile('229110161010.json', { root: __dirname })

}

The log I get is is just and empty {}

How do I access the data in the body on my post calls?

Can you send an example of your request object and request headers? Do you add "content-type: application/json" as request header?

Request headers say  Content-Length: 0. So I think body is empty.

thanks @muratcorlu I hadn't realized I wasn't correctly using fetch function.
