How to handle POST request using express in Node.js? I have written following code which is not working

Not able to handle post request data using express in Node.js. I want to handle form data from index.html file in test.js file. Getting error: POST /test" Error (404): "Not found"

Following is the code which I have written:

index.html

<html>
    <body>
            <form action="/test" method="POST">
                Name: <input type="text" name="name"/>
                <input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
                </form>
    </body>
</html>

test.js

var express = require("express");
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var app = express();
var urlEncodedParser = app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({     // to support URL-encoded bodies
  extended: false
}));
app.post('/test',urlEncodedParser, function(req,res){
console.log("Kushagra "+req.body);
});
app.listen(8080,function(){
  console.log("Started in port 8080");
});

What to be done in order to receive form data from index.html file to test.js file.

// TODO: Place this code before route & put index.html to public directory

const path = require("path");

app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, "public")));
