You should install body-parser separately, because you are using Express 4. npm install body-parser and then use it

                   var bodyParser = require('body-parser');

for more details see https://github.com/expressjs/body-parser

Your problem is here: app.use(express.bodyParser()); try app.use(bodyParser()); or app.use(bodyParser.json());
