Get selected option value in node.js with using express












1















I need to get the selected object using express to console it in app.js



example.html






 <form id="tableForm" action="getJson">
<select class="example" name="example">
<option name="" value="0" selected>Select table</option>
<option name="table1" value="1">Table 1</option>
<option name="table2" value="2">Table 2</option>
<option name="table3" value="3">Table 3</option>
</select>
</form>





App.js






var express = require('express'),
app = express();

app.use(express.bodyParser());

app.get('/', function(req, res){
res.sendfile('views/index.html');
});

app.get('/getJson', function (req, res) {
console.log(req.body.example);
});

app.listen(3000, function(){
console.log('Server running at port 3000: http://127.0.0.1:3000')
});





The output of the console is undefined even if I select another object.

You need to add handler for the post method on form submission.



app.js



app.post('/getJson', function (req, res) {
console.log(req.body.example);
});


example.html



<form method="post" id="tableForm" action="getJson">
<select class="example" name="example">
<option name="" value="0" selected>Select table</option>
<option name="table1" value="1">Table 1</option>
<option name="table2" value="2">Table 2</option>
<option name="table3" value="3">Table 3</option>
</select>
</form>
