bodyparse text data in express

Question

I am trying to get data sent by postman row->text data but fail to get. I am able to print complete body but how do i print body param? body is in the form of query string.

NodeCode:

   const bodyParser = require("body-parser"); 
   app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
            extended: true
    }));
    app.use(bodyParser.json());
    app.use(bodyParser.text());
    app.post('/data/UploadLogsToServer', async (req, res) => {
            return res.json(req.body);
    });

above code prints complete body like

But How do i fetch only Store parameter from query string ?

@DavinTryon, I already tried above solution, it is based on json — Juned Ansari, Oct 11 '18 at 13:28
Is there a reason why it has to be plain text? Using JSON would make solving this totally trivial. — Elliot Blackburn, Oct 11 '18 at 13:35
@JunedAnsari you tried `bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true })`? Because your body looks to be in a query string format. — Davin Tryon, Oct 11 '18 at 15:45

querystring npm module resolved my problem

Solution:

var querystring = require('querystring');
app.post('/data/UploadLogsToServer', async (req, res) => {
        var q = querystring.parse(req.body);
        return res.json(q.Store);
});
