POST Method¶

Making POST¶

We can directly tap into express framework and utilize everything in it to create a request of POST method.

router.post("/user_create", (req, res) => {
    console.log("In user Create service API endpoint");
    console.log("Logging the req of post data", req.body);
    // console.log(req);
    console.log("Getting params", req.params);
    console.log(req.query.location);

    const name = req.query.name;
    const location = req.query.location;
    const job_type = req.query.job_type;
    const email = req.query.email;
    const phone_no = req.query.phone_no;

    /* Sample Query
    INSERT INTO users (name, location, job_type, email, phone_no)
    VALUES("Test2", "Boston", "lol", "asf@gmail.com", 666666666)
    */

    const queryString =
        "INSERT INTO users (name, location, job_type, email, phone_no) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)";
    const connection = getCustomConnection("aws");
    connection.query(
        queryString,
        [name, location, job_type, email, phone_no],
        (err, results, field) => {
            if (err) {
                console.log("Error in the executing query", err);
                res.sendStatus(500);
                return;
            }
            console.log(
                "Inserted data to Database",
                name,
                location,
                job_type,
                email,
                phone_no,
            );

            // We can't use "res object while in the body of executing the query"
            // res.send('Inserted data to Database', first_name, last_name);
            res.end();
        },
    );

    res.end();
});
