Cannot GET error message showing using Rest Api in Nodejs

March 31, 2023

I am working with nodejs and using expressjs framework,Right now i am trying to run "Rest Api"
but i am getting following error

Cannot GET /published

Here is my routes file

module.exports = app => {
  const tutorials = require("../controllers/tutorial.controller.js");
  var router = require("express").Router();
  router.get("/published", tutorials.findAllPublished);
  };

Here is my controller

exports.findAllPublished = (req, res) => {
 res.send('Hello world');
};

>Solution :

You need to use the router somewhere in your app: app.use('/', router)

This:

module.exports = app => {
  const tutorials = require("../controllers/tutorial.controller.js")
  var router = require("express").Router()
  router.get("/published", tutorials.findAllPublished)
  app.use('/', router) // e.g here
}

Should work.
