I'm coding up a simple demo rest-api, the default /api route work just fine, returning all the results(image below), but I'm hitting a roadblock. Which is that when I type: http://localhost:5050/api/interpol where
/interpol maps to api/:params I'm getting back an empty array, instead of the document matching the artist.
As a side note, I'm running a 32bit Ubuntu 14.04(didn't realize it till after), so I had to downgrade both mongodb and mongoose to get them working together, as a consequence I'm using Mongodb 2.2.6 & Mongoose 4.0.8. Thanx in advance.
Model
// Dependencies
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
//Mongoose Schema
const Albums = new mongoose.Schema({
title : { type: String },
releaseYr : { type: Date }
});
const MusicSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
artist : { type: String },
albums : [Albums]
});
mongoose.model('Music', MusicSchema);
module.exports = mongoose.model('Music');
Router
// Dependencies
const express = require('express');
const Music = require('../models/musicModel');
const musicRouter = express.Router();
// Routes
musicRouter.get('/', (req, res) => {
Music.find({}, (err, artists) => {
res.json(artists)
})
});
musicRouter.route('/:artistName').get((req, res) => {
const artistName = req.params.artistName;
Music.find({ artist: artistName }, (err, artist) => {
res.json(artist)
});
});
module.exports = musicRouter;
App
// Dependencies
const express = require('express'),
bodyParser = require('body-parser'),
Mongoose = require('mongoose'),
Joi = require('joi');
// Initiate express
const app = express();
// Import musicRouter to handle api routes
const musicRouter = require('./api/musicRouter');
// Downgraded to Mongodb 2.2.6 & Mongoose 4.0.8
// Connect to Mongo database via Mongoose
Mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/music1', {useNewUrlParser: true});
// Middleware
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
// Send routes to musicRouter
app.use('/api', musicRouter);
module.exports = app;
