parse form data in nodejs service

Question

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

app.use(bodyParser.json());
//app.use(express.urlencoded());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({// to support URL-encoded bodies
    extended: true`enter code here`
}));

app.post('/register', function (req, res) {
    console.log("inside log");
    console.log(req.body);
    var username = req.body.username;
    console.log(username);
});

As I have used urlencoded() whenever I post data in form data, I do not get data in req.body. i have attached image of postman

Please give me a solution to parse the data. I want to pass it in form data because I will be uploading an image too. So for image form data is must

You need use connect-multiparty npm module.

  global.app = module.exports = express();

var multipart = require('connect-multiparty');

app.use(multipart());

You not set content-type in postman because node server automatically set his content-type in header according to form-data file.
