Not receiving form-data in PATCH method in express (Node)

Question

Posting data to an endpoint which is working fine when I select raw and send json.

I am not receiving anything when I select form-data. I have already defined them in my server.js.

server.js config:

const express = require("express");
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
const cors = require("cors");
const app = express();
var corsOptions = {
  origin: "http://localhost:8081"
};

app.use(cors(corsOptions));
app.use(express.static('app/uploaded'));
// parse requests of content-type - application/json
app.use(bodyParser.json());
// parse requests of content-type - application/x-www-form-urlencoded
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));

Here is the postman request.

hi for parsing different form of data you have to add different middleware to access it

here is the code for parsing response:

var express = require('express');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var multer = require('multer');
var upload = multer();
var app = express();

// for parsing application/json
app.use(bodyParser.json()); 

// for parsing application/xwww-
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true })); 
//form-urlencoded

// for parsing multipart/form-data
app.use(upload.array()); 

refer this doc for more detail documentation of body-parser with form data

let me know if its help
