I want to show the data from the array of whole data which should satisfy the condition that the requested id matches with the id of the data. But every time I try the below code, I only get 'undefined' as an output from the find method.
Code
import express from 'express';
import data from "./data.js"
const app=express();
app.get('/products/api/:id',(req,res)=>{
const product = data.products.find((x) => x.id === req.params.id);
if (product) {
res.send(product)
}
else{
res.status(404).send({message:`Product Not Found${req.params.id}`});
}
}) app.get('/products/api',(req,res)=>{
res.send(data.products)
}) app.get('/',function(req,res){
res.send("server is ready")
}) const port=process.env.PORT || 5000 app.listen(5000,()=>{
console.log(`serve at http://localhost:${port}`);
})
Your code is missing body parsing middleware. Try adding an
app.use(express.json({ extended: true })) before your routes.
Also please check if the id from data.products.find((x) => x.id === req.params.id); is of type string. It might be a number or an ObjectId mongoose object id.
All you need to do is,
change this:
const product = data.products.find((x) => x.id === req.params.id);
to:
const product = data.products.find((x) => x.id == req.params.id);
