How to retrieve form-data sent from postman in express?

I successfully retrieved data in node when it was x-www-form-urlencoded or raw. 

app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded());
app.post("/api/posttest", (req, res) => {
    console.log(req.body);
    res.send("POST data received");
});

But when I use form-data, the req.body is empty and I didn't find my data anywhere else in req. Can this be retrieved with express without additional modules?

I believe you need the express.js middleware 'body-parser' in order to retrieve/see req.body.

Body parser used to be part of express.js but has since been removed.
