Beginner here...so bear with me :)
I'm getting this dataset in the console, but I can't wrap my head around getting it sent to the client side...
const { response } = require('express');
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const port = 3000;
app.use(express.static('public'));
app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Example app listening at http://localhost:${port}`));
const translate = require('sdapi').default.translate;
translate('hablar').then(console.log);
This is the result I get:
[
{
word: 'hablar',
lang: 'es',
gender: undefined,
context: 'to articulate words',
meaning: 'to speak',
part: 'intransitive verb',
examples: [ [Object] ],
regions: []
}]
I've tried wraping it into a app.get('/translation', async (req, res) => {}) but it doesn't work.
Appreciate your time/attention.
app.get('/translate/:word', async (req, res) => {
const {
params: { word },
} = req; // same as const word = req.params.word
const translatedWord = await translate(word); // same as .then
return res.status(200).json({ translatedResponse: translatedWord });
});
To activate this you have to send http get request to whateverip:port/translate/<WORD_TO_TRANSLATE_INPUT>
You can send http requests with axios, curl, or fetch and your browser's terminal thouhg the last one isn't always optimal solution.
I think you want to check your controller and sed data to it
so the first step that u must do to install body-parser with npm i body-parser
then use it like
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
now u can receive and store your data on request.
then learn about the request (https://expressjs.com/en/guide/routing.html)
then u can send a request to your server with postman or Axios or curl and something else .
I hope to solve your question.
