Node js - post request

Node
1

Hello!

I am studying the nodejs course, I am in section four, intro to express.

Whenever I do a post request I keep getting the error:
Cannot POST /api/courses - 404

Any idea what I am doing wrong? Im not sure which codeblock to display so here is everything I have for this section.

Hi,
it seems that you forgot to add a "/" in your app.post so you need to add it => “/api/courses” :

~~~app.post('api/courses', (req, res) => {

        const schema = {

            name: Joi.string().min(3).required()

        }

        const result = Joi.validate(request.body, schema);

        console.log(result);

        

        if (result.error) {

            response.status(400).send(result.error)

            return;

        }

        const course = {

            id: courses.length + 1, 

            name: request.body.name

        };

        courses.push(course);

        response.send(course);

    });
