Route declared properly but still getting a Could not get any response error












0















I have making an API using express and node.



Here is my app.js



const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const dotenv = require('dotenv');

// setup dotenv to read environment variables
dotenv.config()

// Load Environment Varibles
const env = require('./utils/env');

// INIT MONGODB CONNECTION
require('./mongoose');

// create a new express application
const app = express();

// setup bodyparser middleware to read request body in requests
// we're only reading JSON inputs
app.use(bodyParser.json());

// Listen to API routes
const apiRoutes = require('./routes')
app.use('/api', apiRoutes);

// Start listening to requests
app.listen(env.PORT, () => {
console.log(`Server started on PORT ${env.PORT}`);
});


And here is the API routes that are being imported



const express = require('express');
const apiController = require('./apiController');
const apiValidator = require('./apiValidator');
const router = express.Router();

router.post('/login', apiValidator.loginUserValidator, apiController.loginUserController);

router.get('/rand', (req, res) => {
res.send('Some randon text');
});

module.exports = router;


Here is the middleware



const {
failureResponse
} = require('./../utils/response');
const errorcodes = require('./../utils/errorcodes');

const loginUserValidator = (req, res, next) => {
const user = req.body;
if (!user.username) {
return res.status(400).json(failureResponse(errorcodes.ERROR_INVALID_BODY_PARAMETER, "Invalid username"));
}

if (!user.password) {
return res.status(400).json(failureResponse(errorcodes.ERROR_INVALID_BODY_PARAMETER, "Invalid password"));
}
if (user.authTokens) {
delete user.authTokens;
}
next();
};

module.exports = {
loginUserValidator
};


Here is the controller



const User = require('./../models/user');
const {
successResponse,
failureResponse
} = require('./../utils/response');
const errorcodes = require('./../utils/errorcodes');

const loginUserController = async (req, res) => {
try {
const user = req.body;
// find if the user already exists
const existingUser = await User.findOne({
username: user.username
});

if (existingUser) {
// user exists. generate token and login user
console.log('Existing user login');
const token = existingUser.generateAuthToken();
return res.status(200).json(successResponse(token));
} else {
console.log('New user login');
const savedUser = await new User(user).save();
const token = savedUser.generateAuthToken();
return res.status(200).json(successResponse(token));
}
} catch (e) {
console.log(e);
return res.status(400).json(failureResponse(errorcodes.ERROR_SERVER_ERROR, "Unable to login user"));
}
};

module.exports = {
loginUserController
};


Here the issue is when I try to hit the login route from Postman, I am getting an error which says Could not get any response.



But when I hit the rand route, the output is correct.
So the issue isn't the arrangement of the code.
Why am I not able to use the login route here?

  • What does apiValidator.loginUserValidator and apiController.loginUserController do? Can you show the code?

  • You have middleware on your login route (apivalidator). Maybe there's a problem in there?

  • No. The middleware eventually calls next() no matter what and the controller sends out a response at the end. I can paste the code for you.

  • Looking at your code. the syntax seems to be correct. Could not get any response means that some callback is missing or some operation took too much time. Can you check if new User save or user findone is being completed or not?

  • Looking at your code. the syntax seems to be correct. Could not get any response means that some callback is missing or some operation took too much time. Can you check if new User save or user findone is being completed or not?
