Sending Html Form Data To Node Js

I have the following code

Solution 1:

I got it to work. Here's the code:

var express = require('express');
var app2 = express(); 
var bodyParser = require("body-parser");
var path = require('path');
var socketIO = require('socket.io');

app2.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app2.use(bodyParser.json());

var app = http.createServer(app2);
`var io = socketIO.listen(app);`

app2.use( express.static(__dirname));

app2.post('/form', function(req, res){

  var lang = req.body.mytext;
  console.log( req.body.mytext);
  res.send(lang);
});

app.listen(8081);

Despite having created a server using express, I still needed to create the server using the HTTP module because an express server doesn't work with the socket.io module.

And I had used the express server to take care of my static files.
