Treehouse TeacherHey Terfa Nomhwange and anyone else wondering about this,
body-parser
has in fact been deprecated and is no longer needed to be installed as a separate package. They now have this functionality incorporated within express so that this...
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
becomes this...
const express = require('express');
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(express.json());
