res.sendStatus gives an error in Express application-CodePudding

I get an error with the sendStatus() function below when I hover on it. The error is:

Property 'sendStatus' does not exist on type 'Response<any, Record<string, any>>'.ts(2339)

My code:

import express from 'express';
import {Request, Response} from "express";

const router = express.Router();

router.post('/blogapi/posts', (req:Request,res : Response) => {
    res.sendStatus(200);
});

Please help

CodePudding user response：

You should use res.status, sendStatus does not exist in response.

import express from "express";
import { Request, Response } from "express";

const router = express.Router();

router.post("/blogapi/posts", (req: Request, res: Response) => {
  res.status(200).send();
});

CodePudding user response：

This looks like you're not using the proper typing for Express and just have the typing from a plain HTTP response object. .sendStatus() is an Express-specific method.

As you've discovered, npm install @types/express will install the appropriate types for Express.
