javascript - Express.js access fields of serialized Form Data -

i struggling accessing specific fields of serialized formdata in express router.

this ajax request:

var formdata = $("#add-fut-account-form").find("select, textarea, input").serialize(); $.ajax({   url: "/accounts/insert",   type: "post",   data: {formdata},   success: function (response) {     $("#addfutaccountresponse").append(response);   },   error: function (xhr) {     alert("error while trying insert new account!");   } }) 

this router:

router.post('/insert', function(req, res) {     var formdata = req.body.formdata;     console.log(formdata); }); 

my console.log() output:

email=kentor%40gmail.com&password=dsadsa&secret=123&platform=p&account-type=x&proxy=&rpm=8&threshold=3.5&optional-comment=&is-active=on

my problem:

how should serialize / send / receive formdata can access specific fields (such email, password) form. tried using req.body.formdata.email doesn't work (result: undefined). know 2 possible ways how solve issue, appear roundabout way. want know best practice handling formdata express is.

edit: using bodyparse in app.js:

app.use(bodyparser.json()); app.use(bodyparser.urlencoded({extended: true})); 

try making ajax follows:

var formdata = $("#add-fut-account-form").find("select, textarea, input").serialize();  $.ajax({   url: "/accounts/insert",   type: "post",   data: formdata,   success: function (response) {     $("#addfutaccountresponse").append(response);   },   error: function (xhr) {     alert("error while trying insert new account!");   } }) 

remove curly braces on data
