I can't get a response from my server. I am using postman and running the following post request:

localhost:4000/users/register?email=test@gmail.com&f_name=testf&s_name=tests&password=test

It hangs for a very long time and then says:

Could not get any response

This is my code:

[user.route.js]
const express = require('express');
const userRoutes = express.Router();
const cors = require('cors');
const bcrypt = require('bcryptjs');
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');

//require User model in the routes module
let User = require('../models/user.model.js');

//Make router use cors to avoid cross origin errors
userRoutes.use(cors);

//secret
process.env.SECRET_KEY = 'secret';

//define register route
userRoutes.post('/register', (req, res) => {
  const today = new Date();
  const userData = {
    email: req.body.email,
    f_name: req.body.f_name,
    s_name: req.body.s_name,
    password: req.body.password,
    created: today
  }
  //Find one user based on email, hash their password and then create a document in the collection for that user
  User.findOne({
      email: req.body.email
    })
    .then(user => {
      if (!user) {
        bcrypt.hash(req.body.password, 10, (err, hash) => {
          user.password = hash;
          User.create(userData)
            .then(user => {
              res.json({
                status: user

You have to send json data with your post request not query strings.

In postman, select "Body" tab and choose "raw" and from the dropdown menu select "json" format. Send your user data as Json, this will solve the issue.
