The information from the form is not appearing in the req.body

Utilizing the mean.js framework, I have the bodyParser middleware configured as shown below:

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
    extended: true
}));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(methodOverride());

Additionally, I am using formidable to upload images to the server. However, when submitting a form like the one below:

HTML

  <form action="/upload/" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"> 
      <input type="text" name="title"><br>
      <input type="file" name="upload" multiple="multiple"><br>
      <input type="submit" value="Upload">
  </form>

and then logging req.body in the upload function, I receive an empty object instead of one containing the "title" key and its corresponding value.

exports.upload = function(req, res) {


      console.log(req.body) // outputs an empty object
}

The reason for not receiving any data in the body is unknown to me at this point.
