I tried making a project on my own and this error happened. I couldn't fix it. It just somehow happens and I am so confused where to start looking for the error.

app.js

const path = require('path');

const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');

const app = express();

app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
app.set('views', 'views');

const adminData = require('./routes/admin');
const shopRoutes = require('./routes/shop');

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));

app.use('/admin', adminData.routes);
app.use(shopRoutes);

app.use((req, res, next) => {
  res.status(404).render('404', { pageTitle: 'Page Not Found' });
});
app.listen(3000);

admin.js

const path = require('path');

const express = require('express');

const rootDir = require('../util/path');

const router = express.Router();

const products = [];

// /admin/add-product => GET
router.get('/add-product', (req, res, next) => {
  res.render('add-product', {
    pageTitle: 'Add Product',
    path: '/admin/add-product',
    formsCSS: true,
    productCSS: true,
    activeAddProduct: true
  });
});

// /admin/add-product => POST
router.post('/add-product', (req, res, next) => {
  products.push({ title: req.body.title });
  res.redirect('/');
});

exports.routes = router;
exports.products = products;

This is my error. I am making a webpage for the first time using this.

Please try to install the required body-parser module, Use following command to do so.

npm install body-parser

Please install the dependency i.e body-parser

npm i body-parser --save

Error is on the 4th line of app.js its not getting the body-parser module
