Routing (e.g., GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) in Express js
Routing in Express.js is a way to define the various endpoints of your application and specify how to handle HTTP requests (e.g., GET, POST, PUT, DELETE). Below is an example of how to set up routing for a POST request in Express.js.
Basic Example: POST Route in Express.js
Install Express (if not already installed): npm install express
Set up the application: Create a file (e.g.,
app.js
) and define the routing logic for aPOST
request.// import moduleconst express = require('express')const app = express()// get routing
app.get('/', (req, res) => {res.send('Hi,express is running')})// post routing
app.post('/datapost', function (req, res) {res.send('POST request to the homepage')})// server listion
app.listen(8080, () => {console.log("server running http://localhost:8080")})Send a POST Request: Use a tool like Postman, curl, or a frontend application to send a POST request to
http://localhost:3000/submit
