It looks everything is correct but I don't know where i am wrong. Kindly help me to clear this error.

server.js

var express = require("express");
var app = express();
var path = require("path");
"use strict";
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
mongoose.connect("mongodb://localhost:27017/lp", {useNewUrlParser: true});
mongoose.set("useCreateIndex", true);
mongoose.Promise = global.Promise;
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
var engines = require("consolidate");
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, "public")));
app.set("views", __dirname + "/views");
app.engine("html", engines.mustache);
app.set("view engine", "html");
var enrollDataSchema = new Schema({
    fullname: {type: String},
    emailId: {
        type: String,
        required: true,
        unique: true
    },
    phone: {
        type: Number,
        required: true
    }
});
var EnrollData = mongoose.model("EnrollData", enrollDataSchema);
app.get("/", function (req, res) {
    res.render("index.html");
});
app.post("/enrollform", function (req, res) {
    var userinfo = {
        fullname: req.body.fullname,
        email: req.body.emailId,
        contact: req.body.phone
    };
    var data = new EnrollData(userinfo);
    data.save(function (err, result) {
        if (err) {
            console.log(err);
        } else {
            res.render("thankyou.html");
        }
    });
});
app.listen(8000);
console.log("Running at Port 8000");

index.html

<form id="enroll" name="enroll" method="POST" action="/enrollform">
    <input type="text" name="fullname" id="fullname" class="form-control" placeholder="Full Name" required=""/> 
    <input type="email" name="emailId" id="emailId" class="form-control" placeholder="Email ID " required=""/>

Can you please try using the body-parser module.

var bodyParser = require('body-parser')

// parse application/x-www-form-urlencoded
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }))

// parse application/json
app.use(bodyParser.json())
