Express JS不发送JSON来响应发布请求

Question

I'm writing a little AngularJS app that's communicating with an ExpressJS backend for JSON. My server.js file looks like:

var express = require('express'),
    app = express();

//Express 4
app.use(express.static(__dirname, '/'));

app.get('/questions', function(req, res) {
    res.json(questions);
});

app.post('/new_question', function(req, res){
    res.json(req.body);
    //questions.unshift(req.body);
});

app.listen(8080);

When I: curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{text: "text", votes: 0 }' localhost:8080/new_question I get nothing back. What am I missing here? I feel like it must be something exceptionally dumb.

Your POST will need a bodyparser middleware as pointed out in comments.

However, I don't see what's wrong in your GET . Maybe questions is no valid json? try simply

res.send(questions,200);

And see what happen.

Also, use a logger to get more infos about your problem : which request status do you get? etc...

app.use(express.logger());

place it after your static call if you don't wanna log static content requests.
