bodyParser (body-parser) has been deprecated. Please what is the altenative? Any updates on this module?

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

app.use(bodyParser.urlenconded({ extended: false }));

Hey 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());
