No matter what link I declare in the action of my form, it always returns an 404 error. if I change the method to get, it doesn't. I want to use post because i'm trying to get the data from my input fields and post it in my mongedb database:
HTML:
<form class="container-fluid searchContainer" action="/active" method="post">
<div class="col-xs-6">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="businessUnit">Business unit</label>
<input type="text" ng-model="businessUnit" id="businessUnit" name="businessUnit" class="form-control"/>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="tenderId">Tender ID</label>
<input type="text" name="tenderID" ng-model="tenderId" id="tenderId" class="form-control"/>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="tenderDate">Tender Bidding Date</label>
<input type="date" ng-model="tenderDate" name="tenderDate" id="tenderDate" class="form-control"/>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="therapyArea">Therapy area</label>
<input type="text" ng-model="therapyArea" name="therapyArea" id="therapyArea" class="form-control"/>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-12 text-right">
<input type="submit" id="btnCreate" value="Create" class="btn btn-primary" >
</div>
</form>

Because you define your 404 route handler before you define app.post('/active')
, express evaluates the 404 rule first and returns it. Your POST /active route never gets evaluated. To fix this you need to give Express your POST /active route before your 404 route (which should always be your last route).
Unless you have an equivalent POST /active route defined in the file ./routes/active
, the line
app.use('/active', active);
won't fix this problem even though it is evaluated before your 404 route. You can read more about app.use()
vs app.get|post|etc()
in the express docs .
Express evaluates rules in the order they are passed to it via use()
or get|post|delete|etc()
You have defined get
route in your server. Try to change the
app.get('/active',function(req,res){
into
app.post('/active',function(req,res){
In this way, you will respond to a post request from the browser.
