Creating Routes in NodeJs

I am trying to build a user registration forum for a web app.

To refactor my code I created a folder named api and defined some routes in index.js (/api/routes/index.js).

Now I wanted to route my signup form to this route in (/api/routes/index.js) so that the data can go to user_sign_up function which is defined in (api/controllers/users.js)

my app.js looks like:

// some code
var routesApi = require('./api/routes/index');
app.use('/api', routesApi);
// some code

my (/api/routes/index) looks like:

// some code
var ctrlevents = require('../controllers/users');
router.post('/registeruser', ctrlevents.user_sign_up);
// some code
module.exports = router;

In server folder of my app, I have views folder under which all .html files are present.

How do I define routes for action attribute in signup form?

my users.js looks like:

module.exports.user_sign_up = (req, res) => {

// some code
};

I tried:

<form method="POST" action="/registeruser">

got this:

Following is working but getting 500 status.

<form method="POST" action="/api/registeruser">

Adding user_sign_up function:

/* GET signup data */
module.exports.user_sign_up = (req, res) => {

  Name: req.body.username;
  email: req.body.email;
  password: req.body.password;
  cpassword: req.body.cpassword;

  console.log('ghfhghgh');
  console.log(email);
  console.log(password);
  console.log(cpassword);

  req.checkBody('Name', 'Name is required').notEmpty();
  req.checkBody('email', 'Email is required').notEmpty();
  req.checkBody('password', 'Password is required').notEmpty();
  req.checkBody('cpassword', 'Passwords do not match').equals(req.body.password);

  let errors = req.validationErrors();

  if (err) {

    res.render('register', {
      errors:errors
    });
  }

  else {

    let newUser = new User({
      Name:Name,
      email:email,
      password:password
    })
  }

  bcrypt.genSalt(10, (err, salt) => {

    bcrypt.hash(newUser.password, salt, (err, hash) => {

      if(err) {

        console.log(err);
      }

      newUser.password = hash;

      newUser.save((err) => {

        if(err) {

          console.log(err);
          return;
        }

        else {
          req.flash('success', 'Welcome to TechPath');
          req.redirect('/blog');
        }

      })

    });

  })

};

I think you have to assign value using = sign

  Name = req.body.username;
  email = req.body.email;
  password = req.body.password;
  cpassword = req.body.cpassword;

As I understand, you want the action attribute in your sign up form. Since you already created a route registeruser which also has controller user_sign_up, just pass registeruser to your form as action. It should be working.

<form method="POST" action="/registeruser">

</form>

Edit: I created a similar structure to yours, my code works well. Try to compare your code and my code and keep me updated if your issue is resolved or not.
