Node.js / Intellij: http post request returns code 404-CodePudding

I get this response when testing the http method:

http://localhost:3000/rooms
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

This is the code for my routing / endpoint

router.post('/rooms', bodyparser.json(), (req, res) => {

let rooms;

try {
    rooms = {
        id:req.body.id,
        name: req.body.name
    };
    createRessource(filename)
    res.status(201).send(rooms);
} catch (error) {
    res.sendStatus(500)
}
refresh();

});

I tested with intellij editor this way:

POST http://localhost:3000/rooms
Content-Type: application/json 
{ "name": "Peter", "id": 4}

Is http://localhost:3000/rooms not the right endpoint? The get request for this endpoint is o.k

CodePudding user response：

Pretty sure IntelliJ is not at fault here as I've made many APIs on it (mostly express). If I were you the first thing I would check would be which port is my app listening on.

I assume you are using express (a few reasons such as usage of body-parser)

What port did you put in app.listen(port)? Maybe you put port 80?

Well considering you are actually receiving a 404 I'll cross that out.

Next thing would be the way you made your app use the router.

Remember, if you did something like

app.use(router, "/api")

and in router

router.post("/rooms", function)

then your final url to post would be /api/rooms and not just /rooms. So I suggest what you used on your app. If you don't want to put any preset path then just do

app.use(router)
