Node JS request module does not send form data

Question

I am making a post request using "request" module in node js like this:

 request.post({url: 'http://localhost:4004/api/v1/notifications/post', form: {msg:msg, userID:userID}}, function(err, httpResponse, body){
    if(err) return 0;
    else return 1;
});

no the server side I get the request, however the parameters do not come. What am I doing wrong?

what do you get in the network tab ?

I think you have to stringify your form data and put it in the body. Here is a similar question that has been answered: POST Requests not working using request module in node.js
