I am a beginner to Node and I am trying to create a multipage application with Mongo(mlab), express and nodejs. I am trying to navigate to a page addUser that takes POST requests. But I keep getting the error
Cannot GET /addUser
when I use add.post on it. However, it does work when I use add.get
Here is app.js
var express = require('express');
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var cors = require('cors');
var path = require('path');
const MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
var app = express();
app.set('view engine', 'ejs')
const port = 3000;
MongoClient.connect('mongodb://<user>:<password>@ds111882.mlab.com:11882/serene-brushlands-55292-db', function(err, database) {
if(err) return console.log(err);
db = database
app.listen(port, function() {
console.log('Server started at port:'+port);
});
});
var urlencodedParser = bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended:false });
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
res.sendFile(__dirname+'/index.html');
});
app.post('/addUser', urlencodedParser, function(req, res) {
res.render('addUser');
// db.collection('users').save(req.body, function(err, result) {
// if (err) return console.log(err);
// console.log('saved to database');
// res.redirect('/');
// })
// console.log(req.body);
});
Not sure what I am doing wrong.
Here is addUser.ejs:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>MY APP</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="/addUser" method="POST" >
<input type="text" placeholder="username" name="username">
<input type="text" placeholder="specialty" name="specialty">
<input type="text" placeholder="address" name="address">
<!-- <input type="file" name="picture"> -->
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
</body>
