Is express().get still required?

I've been following along with the video, but I did not receive an error when running the form with only a get request. This is my code in app.js for the 'hello' route:

app.get('/hello', (req, res) => {
    res.render('hello');
});

Andrew suggest adding app.post with all the same information to avoid an error. Is this a difference between HTTP and HTTP2?

Thanks!

I found the reason I wasn't receiving an error. When I made my form (in the hello.pug file) I used the following code:

form(action='/hello', methods='post')

methods should have been method. hope this helps if someone made the same mistake I did.
