OK first time user of Node, and I am trying to send data to backend/index.js
Requirements
- Post data to back-end node
- Retrieve posted data and store values as variables
Whats the problem
The post is 200 success, that works.
however when I navigate to :
I get :
Cannot GET /backend/index
Where am I going wrong ?
Here is my front end post post
var settings = {
"async": true,
"crossDomain": true,
"url": "http://localhost:8080/backend/index.js",
"method": "POST",
"headers": {
"content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
},
"data": {
"id": "1223",
"token": "223",
"geo": "ee"
}
}
$.ajax(settings).done(function (response) {
console.log(response);
});
I am trying to retrieve this data from and store as variable in the back end node.
backend/index.js
// grab the packages we need
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var port = process.env.PORT || 8080;
// routes will go here
// start the server
app.listen(port);
console.log('Server started! At http://localhost:' + port);
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.use(bodyParser.json()); // support json encoded bodies
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true })); // support encoded bodies
// POST http://localhost:8080/api/users
// parameters sent with
app.post('/backend/index', function(req, res) {
var user_id = req.body.id;
var token = req.body.token;
var geo = req.body.geo;
res.send(user_id + ' ' + token + ' ' + geo);
});
