"Cannot GET /api/users/2" why is my GET request not working for a user with an id of 2?
The query http://localhost:3000/api/users works but i'm trying to find an individual user based on their id and this is not working in my code below.
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const users = [
[{name: 'liam', id: 1}, {name: 'jon', id: 2}]
];
app.get('/api/users', (req, res ) => {
res.send(users);
})
app.get('/api/users:id', (req, res ) => {
const id = parseInt(req.params.id)
const user = users.filter(u => u.id === id) [0]
res.send(user)
})
app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Listening on port 3000.......'));
When I do "http://localhost:3000/api/users/1" nothing displays in my browser.
I have updated the code to app.get('/api/users/:id'
You're missing a slash:
app.get('/api/users/:id', …)
Also, you have an array-in-an-array, which is probably not what you intended. Use this:
const users = [
{name: 'liam', id: 1}, {name: 'jon', id: 2}
];
Try this app.get('/api/users/:id',..)
