TypeError: rest.rester is not a function (CH15) #85

Open reybango opened 7 years ago

reybango commented 7 years ago

Hey guys, I'm getting the following error when trying to use the connect-rest package per the code in ch15. Here's the error:

app.use(rest.rester(apiOptions)); ^ TypeError: rest.rester is not a function

I'm pasting the approximately line to my code here:

https://github.com/reybango/meadowlark/blob/master/meadowlark.js#L179

I also looked through the package's docs and even tried doing a .create() beforehand with no success.

I'm stumped as to why

Hi, Ray,

Lots has changed with connect-rest (I actually just got a nice email from the maintainer/author), but I probably won't have time to take a look at the problem specifically until this weekend...but I will get to it!

Hey @EthanRBrown yeah I pinged them today and they gave me the updates. Thread here. The only issue I'm having now is that I need to specify double slashes to hit the API when vhost is used. Like this:

http://api.meadowlark:3000//attractions

Not sure what's causing that. My repo code for that starts here.

And of course if the updated connect-rest code looks good to you and you want to pilfer to update the book code please do so.
