link submit a form leading an error

here is my js

router.get('/', (req, res)=>{
    res.render('ask');
});

router.post('/thankyou', (req, res)=>{
    res.cookie('name', req.body.name);
    res.render('thankyou');
});

my pug

    form#Name(action='/thankyou', method='post')
        label(for='name') Name:
        input#name(type='text', name='name' , placeholder='john doe')
        button(type='submit') Submit

i think i can post to a different route name just so long as i set the action of the form to the given post route name

i tried posting to the same route name by the way but it didn't work
