Example of Create

Let's create a first endpoint query balance from the database by create getBalance.js in controller->transaction directory

~~Create a request.~~

http://127.0.0.1:3000/todo?todo_id=1

~~Click~~ Send ~~The response from your backend application 👇🏻~~

Example of the `POST` method

Create an endpoint that create a user

Before writing a request, we need to install the library body-parser first.
npm i body-parser
Because Express JS cannot read the JSON body request directly, So we need to install body-parser first.

const bodyParser = require("body-parser"); // import the body-parser

// parse various different custom JSON types as JSON
app.use(bodyParser.json({ type: "application/json" }));

Code ...

const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const mysql = require("mysql2");
const bodyParser = require("body-parser"); 👈🏻
const port = 3000;

const connection = mysql.createConnection({
  host: "server2.mixkoap.com",
  port: "6103",
  user: "root",
  password: "root_apisitmaneerat",
  database: "csc105-workshop",
});

// Connect to database
connection.connect();

console.log("Database is connected");

// parse various different custom JSON types as JSON
app.use(bodyParser.json({ type: "application/json" })); 👈🏻

app.get("/", (req, res) => {
  res.send("Hello World!");
});
.
.
.
.
.
.

Create an endpoint

app.post("/todo/create", (req, res) => {
  // The JSON body
  const payload = req.body;

  connection.query(
    `INSERT INTO users (username) VALUES (?)`, [payload.userName], (err, rows) => {
      // Check if cannot find the data in the database then return the error
      if (err) {
        res.json({
          success: false,
          data: null,
          error: err.message,
        });
      } else {
        // Return data to the client if success
        console.log(rows);
        if (rows) {
          res.json({
            success: true,
            data: {
              message: "create success",
            },
          });
        }
      }
    }
  );
});

The request body mostly send in JSON format 👆🏻
Create a request in Postman and change the HTTP method to POST

****Remark - HTTP Methods 👇🏻

Add the JSON body 👇🏻

http://127.0.0.1:3000/todo/create

{
    "userName" : "Apisit Maneerat"
}

The response from your backend application. 👆🏻
In the Database 👇🏻

For more detail

Example of the `PATCH` method

Create an endpoint that edit the data in the Database

For example we are going to change the name and detail from id = 1

Create the endpoint
For this endpoint we use .patch() because we are going to edit some fields that you specific in the Database.

app.patch("/todo/edit", (req, res) => {
  // The JSON body
  const payload = req.body;

  console.log(payload);

  connection.query(
    "UPDATE items SET name = ?, detail = ? WHERE id = ?", [payload.name, payload.detail, payload.id],
    (err, rows) => {
      // Check if cannot find the data in the database then return the error
      if (err) {
        res.json({
          success: false,
          data: null,
          error: err.message,
        });
      } else {
        // Return data to the client if success
        if (rows) {
          res.json({
            success: true,
            data: {
              message: "update successfully",
            },
          });
        }
      }
    }
  );
});

Create a request in Postman

Click Send

Example of the `DELETE` method

Create an endpoint that delete the data from the links table in the database.

For this endpoint, we will use .delete() because we are going to delete data from the database.
We use query string to get the data from the client
Create an endpoint 👇🏻

app.delete("/todo/delete", (req, res) => {
  // Assign the params as a variable
  const id = req.query.id;
  const todoId = req.query.todo_id;

  connection.query(
    `DELETE FROM links where id = ? AND todo_id = ?`, [id, todoId],
    (err, rows) => {
      // Check if cannot find the data in the database then return the error
      if (err) {
        res.json({
          success: false,
          data: null,
          error: err.message,
        });
      } else {
        if (rows) {
          res.json({
            success: true,
            data: {
              message: "delete successfully",
            },
          });
        }
      }
    }
  );
