13.Extend the previous Express.js application to include middleware for parsing request bodies (e.g.

,
JSON, form data) and validating input data. Send appropriate JSON responses for success and error
cases.

const express = require('express');


const { body, validationResult } = require('express-validator');

const app = express();


const port = 3000;

// Middleware to parse JSON bodies


app.use(express.json());
// Middleware to parse URL-encoded bodies
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));

// Example route with input validation


app.post('/submit', [
// Validate and sanitize fields
body('username').isString().trim().notEmpty().withMessage('Username is
required'),
body('email').isEmail().withMessage('Must be a valid email address'),
], (req, res) => {
// Check for validation errors
const errors = validationResult(req);
if (!errors.isEmpty()) {
return res.status(400).json({ success: false, errors: errors.array()
});
}

// Process the valid data


const { username, email } = req.body;
res.status(200).json({
success: true,
message: 'Data received successfully!',
data: { username, email }
});
});

// Error Handling Middleware


app.use((err, req, res, next) => {
console.error(err.stack); // Log the error stack for debugging
res.status(500).json({ success: false, message: 'Something went wrong!'
}); // Send a generic error response
});

// Start the server


app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Server is running on http://localhost:${port}`);
});
Output-valid input
curl -X POST "http://localhost:3000/submit" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d
"{\"username\": \"john_doe\", \"email\": \"[email protected]\"}"

}
