Get JSON data
github-learning-lab opened this issue · comments
Now that our server is listening for requests being made on localhost:8000 let's return some mock JSON data. Add the following to your server.js file:
const mockUserData=[
{name:'Mark'},
{name:'Jill'}
]
app.get('/users', function(req,res){
res.json({
success: true,
message: 'successfully got users. Nice!',
users: mockUserData
})
})
Overall your file should look like this:
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const mockUserData=[
{name:'Mark'},
{name:'Jill'}
]
app.get('/users',function(req,res){
res.json({
success: true,
message: 'successfully got users. Nice!',
users: mockUserData
})
})
app.listen(8000,function(){console.log('server is listening')})
Let's save your changes on GitHub:
git add server.js
git commit -m"add first GET route"
git push origin master
