Can't access to POST parameters using expressJs with AngularJs POST Request - angularjs

Question

I can't access to my post parameters when I'm doing post request with angular, here is my angular code :
var request = $http({
method: 'POST',
url: '/api/login',
data: {
login: 'alex',
password: 'test'
}
})
.success(function (res, status, headers) {
if (res.token != 'undefined'){
user.token = res.token;
user.login = credentials.login;
user.userid = res.userid;
user.islogged = true;
$cookieStore.put("user", user);
}
}).error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
console.log(data);
});
Here is my back-end code in my router file :
/************ API ******************/
app.post('/api/login', user.login);
And here is the code of my user controller
exports.login = function(req, res) {
console.log(req);
var user = {
login: req.query.login,
password: sha1(req.query.password)
};
...
}
I have nothing in req.query object otherwise if I make my request with Advanced REST Client plugin for chrome everything work fine.
Note: I'm using body-parser module to read parameters of my request.

Make sure you enables the use of json parser
var bodyParser = require("body-parser");
app.use(bodyParser.json());
Note: you have to install body-parser package, just open your terminal (command prompt in windows), chnage your directory to the root of your project and type the following
$ npm install body-parser --save
