Both of these code snippets lead to a redirection to the products/:id path. However, there is a difference in how I need to set up the routes.
In the post route, I must include products/, but in the put route, I do not need to include it.
Does anyone have insight into why this distinction exists? Thank you for your assistance.
router.post("/", async (req, res) => {
const newProduct = new Product(req.body)
await newProduct.save()
console.log(newProduct)
res.redirect(`products/${newProduct.id}`)
})
router.put("/:id", async (req, res) => {
const { id } = req.params
const product = await Product.findByIdAndUpdate(id, req.body,
{
runValidators: true,
new: true
})
console.log(req.body)
res.redirect(`${product._id}`)
}
