If you could send a link to your complete repo, I could take a deeper look for you. But I’m thinking the issue might be that you’re not requiring a module to parse the body so that you can check the request body for data.
If you think that might be the issue then check out this link. It explains how to use one of the more popular body parsers for Node and Express.
