post method goes empty in nodejs

Question

I'm trying to get the values from some fields of an index HTML but the post method send me back empty values. It returns this { }, with no values inside of email,nick,name and pass.

this is my server.js code:

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var express = require('express');
var app=express();
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');

mongoose.connect("mongodb://localhost/myDB");


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


app.use(express.static("public"));

app.post("/",function(solicitud,respuesta){
console.log(solicitud.body);
});


app.listen(8080);

and here is the HTML form code:

                            <div class="col-md-5 center-block no float top-pace text-left">
                            <form method="post" action="/" style="margin-top:1.5em;">
                                <!--EMAIL   -->
                                <div class="form-group">
                                    <input type="email" class="form-control" id="email" placeholder="[email protected]" required autofocus/>
                                </div>
                                <!--NICK    -->
                                <div class="form-group">
                                    <input type="text" class="form-control" id="nick" placeholder="Enter your nickname">
                                </div>
                                <!--NAME    -->
                                <div class= "form-group">
                                    <input type="text" class="form-control" id="nombre" placeholder="Enter your name">
                                </div>
                                <!--PASS    -->
                                <div class="form-group">
                                    <input type="password" class="form-control" id="pass" placeholder="***************">
                                </div>

                                <!--BOTON   -->
                                <div class="form-group">
                                    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default" onclick= "alerta()">Sign Up </button>
                                </div>
                            </form>
                        </div>

May the url of the app.post is bad? the form is located in the index.html

Thank you for your help

The input elements must have name attribute.

<input type="text" name="nick">
