Currently, I am in the process of setting up a react express application that utilizes mongo db as its database. During the initial stages, I keep encountering this particular error message:
Error: Route.post() requires callback functions but got a [object Undefined]
Below is my app.js file for reference:
const express = require('express');
// const http = require('http');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const morgan = require('morgan');
const app = express();
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.Promise = global.Promise;
//db and name is auth
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/auth', {
useMongoClient: true,
/* other options */
});
// app setup
//server setup
const port = process.env.Port || 4000
// const server = http.createServer(app);
app.listen(port);
console.log(`Sever listening on ${port}`)
const authRoutes = require('./routes/auth_routes');
app.use('/',authRoutes);
My routes are implemented as follows. I am currently testing to confirm a valid connection.
const authController = '../controllers/auth_controller';
const express = require('express');
const authRoutes = express.Router();
authRoutes.post('/',authController.signup)
module.exports = authRoutes;
The controller logic is outlined below:
const authController = {};
authController.signup = function(req,res,next) {
console.log('here');
res.json({
user: "doesnt matter",
data: 'Put a user profile on this route'
});
}
module.exports = authController;
I am uncertain if the issue lies with mongo since this is my first time utilizing it. However, my database connection appears functional as Robo 3T shows the relevant user schema stored within the database. Interestingly, when I comment out a specific route in the routes page, the errors cease.
