Post goes as Null in the Node api

Question

I am learning how to create a simple API with Node. The get works perfectly, but the post ends up going like null.

The code goes like this

const express = require('express');
const server = express();
server.use(express.json()); // faz com que o express entenda JSON
const geeks = [
    {
        'nome': 'ricardo'
    }
]; // As informações ficaram armazenadas dentro deste array []

server.get('/geeks', (req, res) => {
    return res.json(geeks);
}) // rota para listar todos os geeks

server.get('/geeks/:index', (req, res) => {
    return res.json(req.user);
})

server.post('/geeks', (req, res) => {
    // assim esperamos buscar o name informado dentro do body da requisição
    const { name } = req.body; 
    geeks.push(name);
    return res.json(geeks); // retorna a informação da variável geeks
})


server.listen(8080)

Hello, Ricardo

Despite not having enough information on your question, I decided to test your code locally.

It is working "perfectly" as expected (according to the code)...

It may be that in the post request you are sending the property name with another nomenclature, so it is being received as null (maybe you are sending nome).

One correction is that in geeks.push(name); you could do it this way: geeks.push({name});
