You may need to require route after calling app.use(bodyParser)

[rs459]

if you do this :

[...]
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');

var routes = require('./routes/index');
var users = require('./routes/users');

var app = express();

// view engine setup
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.set('view engine', '{views}');

app.use(favicon());
app.use(logger('dev'));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded());
app.use(cookieParser());{css}
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));

app.use('/', routes);
app.use('/users', users);
[...]

req.body is always empty if you submit form (POST) via the html way , because in your files settings each route, you call express.Router() before settings bodyparser.

I don't understand what you are trying to say. Please clarify what doesn't work or what you are trying to do. Valid app code we can run and see fail would be helpful.

Sorry,

change route/users.js to this :

/* GET users listing. */
router.get('/', function(req, res) {
  res.render('users');
});

router.post('/', function(req, res) {
    console.log(req.body.userName);
    res.end();
});

create users.jade

extend layout

block content
    form(id="createUser", action='/users', method="POST")
        label(for="userName") Username : 
        input(id="userName", type="text")
        input(type="submit")

console.log should return a value, you instantiate Router when you require your routes files, you do this before 'bodyparser'. That's why console.log(req.body.name) return 'undefined'.

This issue still makes no sense to me and I don't see what changes need to happen. If you make a PR I can review that, but based on the description I don't see a problem (looking at the current generator code).
