REST API Cannot get

Question

Hi Im starting to learn how apis works and got my first stucktrace. The thing is that Im trying this code

const app = require('express')();

const PORT = 8080;


app.get('/tshirt', (req , res) => {
    res.status(200).send({
        tshirt: 'blue',
        size: 'large'
    })
});

But Insomnia show me "Cannot GET /tshirt" and 404 at 'http://localhost:8080/tshirt'

So my question is why this doesnt work?

Additional information: On firefox I cant run 'http://localhost:8080/tshirt' instead I have to run 'localhost:8080/tshirt'. But on Insomnia I cant test 'localhost:8080/tshirt' and have to run 'http://localhost:8080/tshirt'.

I tried your code and accessing `http://localhost:8080/tshirt` does work on Firefox. If you access the link starts with `http://` on Firefox, what error do you get? — Lee Jeonghyun, May 19 '22 at 07:46
Yes firefox isn't the problem, insomnia is, I will try postman instead and see whats happening. — Lucas Vega, May 19 '22 at 08:54

1.As far as I know, using Promises, it's will your help. please try this.

const getTshirt = async (req, res) => {
    res.status(200).send({
        tshirt: 'blue',
        size: 'large'
    })
};

app.get('/tshirt', getTshirt);
