I keep getting a 404 when I am posting to a route. I am using MongoDB, express and React Native. I have created the Schema, actions and the router.
The Schema is below:
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
// Create Edible Schema
const EdiblesSchema = new Schema({
name: {
type: String,
required: true
},
price: {
type: String,
required: true
},
strength: {
type: String,
required: true
},
purchasedLocation: {
type: String,
required: true
},
effects: {
type: String,
required: true
},
strain: {
type: String,
required: true
},
});
module.exports = Edibles = mongoose.model("edibles", EdiblesSchema);
Then the post router is below:
const express = require("express");
const router = express.Router();
const keys = require("../../config/keys");
// Load edibles model
const Edibles = require("../../models/edibles");
// @route POST api/users/edibles
// @desc Add an edible to the users collection
// @access Public
router.post ('/edibles', (req, res) => {
if (res.status === 200) {
const newEdible = new Edibles({
name: req.body.name,
price: req.body.price,
strength: req.body.strength,
strain: req.body.strain,
purchasedLocation: req.body.purchasedLocation,
effects: req.body.effects,
})
} else {
return res.status(400).json({ email: "Thats not going to get you high" });
} newEdible
.save()
.then( edibles => res.json(edibles))
.catch(err => console.log(err))
});
module.exports = router;
Then the finale we have the handleSubmit to send the users info to the api endpoint.
const handleSubmit = (response) => {
console.log("EDIBLES", name, strength, price, effects, strain)
dispatch(setEdible(payload))
if (response === 200) {
axios
.post(edibleApi, payload)
console.log("PAYLOAD", edibleApi, payload, setEdible)
// navigation.navigate("Dashboard")
} else {
console.log("WRONG", edibleApi, payload, setEdible);
console.log("userEdibles", userEdibles)
}
}
I am really lost with this... Please help! Probably something really stupid to fix it.
The issue was that I was using the wrong endpoint. I worked this out by using the express-list-routes by adding it to my server.js file.
const expressListRoutes = require('express-list-routes');
const router = express.Router();
console.log("Now we cooking with gas", expressListRoutes(app, { prefix: '/api/v1' })))
That console.log must be added to the console.log that indicates if your server is running or not....
