How to create Node.js server that accepts POST requests?

To create Node.js server that accepts POST requests, we use the http module.

For instance, we write

const http = require("http");
const server = http.createServer((request, response) => {
  response.writeHead(200, { "Content-Type": "textplain" });
  if (request.method === "GET") {
    response.end("received GET request.");
  } else if (request.method === "POST") {
    response.end("received POST request.");
  } else {
    response.end("Undefined request .");
  }
});

server.listen(8000);

to call createServer with a callback that checks the request method with the request.method property.

If it’s 'POST', then a post request is received.
