I'm trying to see if a post request would work on my server at the '/db' route. The get request works just fine, but the 'Post' request gives a '404' not found error.
(Part of) my js code:
function getReq() {
let p = fetch("http://localhost:3000/db").then((a)=>a.json()).then((x)=>console.log(x))
}
async function postReq(obj) {
console.log(obj)
const p = await fetch("http://localhost:3000/db",
{
method: 'POST',
headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
body: obj
}
)
}
My express code:
const app = express();
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.get('/db', (req,res)=>
{
res.sendFile("db.json");
});
app.post("/db", function(req,res)
{
res.send("ok");
});
app.use(express.static('public'));
app.listen(3000, (ok) => console.log("Okk"));
db.json and app.js are in the same folder, and I only call postReq with json strings. The rest of the files are in the 'public' directory. Could anyone guide me to what I could be doing wrong? Thank you.
You need to stringify the body because your content-type is application/json
async function postReq(obj) {
console.log(obj)
const p = await fetch("http://localhost:3000/db",
{
method: 'POST',
headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
body: JSON.stringify(obj) // Here
}
)
}
