I am trying to post to my cosmosDB using Angular. I can GET just fine, but POST returns with a 404 error in Postman. I am new to routes and APIs so I am a little lost on what is causing the issue.
Here is my index.js
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const path = require('path');
const routes = require('./routes');
const root = './';
const port = process.env.PORT || '3000';
const app = express();
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(express.static(path.join(root, 'dist/checkin')));
app.use('/api', routes);
app.get('*', (req, res) => {
res.sendFile('dist/checkin/index.html', {root});
});
app.listen(port, () => console.log(`API running on localhost:${port}`));
My routes.js
const contactService = require('./contact.service');
const router = express.Router();
router.get('/contacts', (req, res) => {
contactService.getContacts(req, res);
});
router.post('/contact/', (req, res) => {
contactService.postContact(req, res);
});
module.exports=router;
My contact.service.js which contains all of my operations (Just GET and POST right now)
const ReadPreference = require('mongodb').ReadPreference;
require('./mongo').connect();
function getContacts(req, res) {
const docquery = Contact.find({}).read(ReadPreference.NEAREST);
docquery
.exec()
.then(contacts => {
res.status(200).json(contacts);
})
.catch(error => {
res.status(500).send(error);
return;
});
}
function postContact(req, res) {
const originalContact = { uid: req.body.uid, name: req.body.name, description: req.body.description };
const contact = new Contact(originalContact);
contact.save(error => {
if (checkServerError(res, error)) return;
res.status(201).json(contact);
console.log('Contact created successfully!');
});
}
function checkServerError(res, error) {
if (error) {
res.status(500).send(error);
return error;
}
}
module.exports = {
getContacts,
postContact
};
Input is obtained through an HTML forum which is picked up and sent through
return this.http.post<Contact>(`${api}/contact/`, contact);
}
