Today marks my first venture into using Express. I attempted to create a straightforward route, but unfortunately, my save function is not cooperating. Despite scouring similar inquiries on stackoverflow, I have been unable to find a solution. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
const express = require("express");
const router = express.Router();
const Post = require("../models/Post");
//ROUTES
router.post('/', (req, res) => {
const post = new Post({
title: req.body.title,
description: req.body.description
})
post.save()
.then(data => {
res.json(data);
})
.catch(err => {
res.json(err);
});
});
module.exports = router;
Below is the model I am working with:
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const PostSchema = mongoose.Schema({
title: {
type: String,
required: true
},
description: {
type: String,
required: true
}
});
module.exports = mongoose.model('Posts', PostSchema);
Here is an excerpt from my app.js file:
const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
require("dotenv/config");
//IMPORT ROUTES
const postsRoute = require("./routes/posts");
//MIDDLEWARE - Function that always execute when routes are being hit.
app.use(bodyParser.json())
app.use('/posts', postsRoute)
//ROUTES
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send("We are on home");
});
//CONNECT TO DB
mongoose.connect(
process.env.DB_CONNECTION,
{ useNewUrlParser: true },
() => {
console.log("DB Connected!!")
})
//How do we start listening to the server
app.listen(3000);
