How to POST data with request module on Node.js?

To POST data with request module on Node.js, we call the request.post method.

For instance, we write

const request = require("request");

request.post(
  {
    headers: { "content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" },
    url: "http://localhost/test2.php",
    body: "mes=heydude",
  },
  (error, response, body) => {
    console.log(body);
  }
);

to call request.post with an object that has the headers, url and the request body.

We get the response and the response body from the callback.
