Approach 2 Usage with Express JS Router
This approach involves creating a base URL using Express JS Router, allowing for a cleaner structure and improved code organization.
Syntax:
const router = express.Router();
router.delete('/', (req, res) => {
// DELETE method logic for the base URL
})
router.delete('/nested', (req, res) => {
// DELETE method logic for the nested URL
})
Example: Write the following code in server.js file.
Javascript
// Server.jsconst express = require('express');const app = express();const PORT = 3000;const router = express.Router();router.delete('/', (req, res) => { res.send("Deleting Resource");});router.delete('/api', (req, res) => { res.send("Deleting from /api endpoint");});app.use('/resource', router);app.listen(PORT, () => { console.log(`Server established at ${PORT}`);}); |
