GET method not working on specific route in ExpressJS

January 16, 2022

When I try to get data using /:user the function is not running inside the specific routing, can anyone figure me out what is the mistake here?

const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const {accountSC,catalogSC} = require("./schema");

let dburl = **database url**
app.use(express.json());
mongoose.connect(dburl);

app.get("/catalog", async (req, res) => {
  //some func inside it
});

app.get("/:catalog/:id", async (req, res) => {
    //some func inside it
});

app.get("/:user", async (req, res) => {
    //some func inside it
});

>Solution :

Basically your /catalog and /:user are the same because of the structure. :user value can be catalog also. So, try out different naming approaches of the routes (/info/:user).

Thank you.

update:
Try out this one.

app.get("/catalog", async (req, res) => {
  //some func inside it
});

app.get("/catalog/:catalog/:id", async (req, res) => {
    //some func inside it
});

app.get("/info/:user", async (req, res) => {
    //some func inside it
});
