I'm building a website with an API using NEXTjs. For a single element, I use the dynamic api route provided by NEXTjs and I'm currently using that route both for getting an element and updating element.
In both the GET and PUT request, I use the req.query.fetchId to get or update the element.
However, I see req.query mostly used for GET requests and in POST/PUT request it's usually req.body being used.
It seems to work, but I'm wondering if I should?
This is the URL for the request: api/items/[fetchId]
And this is my code for the PUT request so far:
if (req.method==="PUT") {
try {
const { db } = await connectToDatabase();
const videoGamesCollection = db.collection("videogames");
const result = await videoGamesCollection
.updateOne({ _id: ObjectId(req.query.fetchId) }, {$inc: {}})
res.status(200).json({ message: "success", result: result });
} catch (error) {
res.status(error.code ?? 502).send({
message: error.message ?? "Something went wrong.",
});
}
}
