Adding form handling to your app

If you want to add the ability to handle a form to your existing app you need to:

Install the body-parser module and save it to your package.json:
npm install body-parser --save
Require the body-parser module in your server.js
Tell your app to use the body-parser to read incoming requests:
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended:true}));
Note: This line MUST come before any app.get or app.post calls.
