can't send nonce to Braintree

Question

I'm trying ti integrate with Brain tree sandbox,

I'm trying to send my nonce from the ios client to my server but I get this error in my console : TypeError: Cannot read property 'payment_method_nonce' of undefined

my server side code is :

app.post("/checkout", function (req, res) {
var nonceFromTheClient = req.body.payment_method_nonce;
gateway.transaction.sale({
amount: "10.00",
paymentMethodNonce: nonceFromTheClient,
options: {
  submitForSettlement: true
}
}, function (err, result) {
if (err) {
  print(err)
}
else if (result.success) {
  console.log(result);
}
});});

in my Ios side :

    func createTransaction(paymentMethodNonce:String) {
    let paymentURL = postUrl!
    var request = URLRequest(url: paymentURL)
    request.httpBody = "payment_method_nonce=\(paymentMethodNonce)".data(using: String.Encoding.utf8)
    request.httpMethod = "POST"

    URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { (data, response, error) -> Void in
        if let err = error {
            print(err.localizedDescription)
            return}
        else {
            print(response)}
        }.resume()
}

TypeError: Cannot read property 'payment_method_nonce' of undefined

This means your req.body is empty/not parsed. Did you import body-parser? This module will parse the body and make it available to you.
