Express POST request body is undefined

I've been working on troubleshooting a very simple application and cannot assess why the request body of POST is undefined. I have used express.json() and body-parser and changed the Content-Type of the request to different formats and have gotten nothing back.

This is the backend code relevant to the issue

const morgan = require("morgan");
const { response } = require("express");
const { format } = require("morgan");
const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const cors = require("cors");

app.use(express.static("build"));
app.use(cors());
app.use(express.json());
app.use(morgan("combined"));

app.post("/api/phonebook/", (req, res) => {
  const body = req.body;
  console.log(req.body);
  console.log(body.content);
  if (!body.name) {
    return res.status(404).json({
      error: "no name",
    });
  }

  const personObj = {
    name: body.name,
    phone: body.phone,
    id: generateId(),
  };

  phonebook = phonebook.concat(personObj);
  response.json(personObj);
});

And this is an example POST

POST http://localhost:3000/api/phonebook/
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "name": "Bob",
    "phone": 123-456
}

The server is up and running and doing GET and DELETE requests both work.
