在Express中无法开机自检/出错

Question

I have a RESTful API that I am using postman to make a call to my route /websites. Whenever I make the call, postman says "Cannot POST /websites". I am trying to implement a job queue and I'm using Express, Kue(Redis) and MongoDB.

Here is my routes file:

'use strict';
module.exports = function(app) {
// Create a new website
const websites = require('./controllers/website.controller.js');
app.post('/websites', function(req, res) {
  const content = req.body;
  websites.create(content, (err) => {
    if (err) {
      return res.json({
        error: err,
        success: false,
        message: 'Could not create content',
      });
    } else {
      return res.json({
        error: null,
        success: true,
        message: 'Created a website!', content
      });
    }
  })
});
}

Here is the server file:

const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const kue = require('kue');
const websites = require('./app/routes/website.routes.js')
kue.app.listen(3000);

var app = express();

const redis = require('redis');
const client = redis.createClient();
client.on('connect', () =>{
  console.log('Redis connection established');
})

app.use('/websites', websites);

I've never used Express and I have no idea what is going on here. Any amount of help would be great!! Thank you!

The problem is how you are using the app.use and the app.post. You have.

app.use('/websites', websites);

And inside websites you have:

app.post('/websites', function....

So to reach that code you need to make a post to localhost:3000/websites/websites . What you need to do is simply remove the /websites from your routes.

//to reach here post to localhost:3000/websites
app.post('/' , function(req, res) {

});
