What is req.body.nm? | Understanding Request Body in Node.js + Express (Beginner Friendly)
YouTube Description (SEO Optimized)
In this video, I explain what req.body really is and how fields like req.body.nm work inside an Express API.
This is one of the most important concepts for beginners learning API development.
Using the example field nm, I show how data sent from the client (Postman or frontend) is received on the server, how Express parses it, and why middleware like express.json() is required.
Perfect for new developers learning Node.js, Express, and how request data flows in real-world APIs.
