The commentController.js file contains repetitive code for handling errors and checking for comment existence. To improve the maintainability and readability of the code, we should refactor it by implementing middlewares for common tasks.
Context
The current implementation of commentController.js has repetitive code for error handling and checking if a comment exists. This not only increases the size of the file but also makes it harder to maintain and update. By introducing middlewares, we can centralize these common tasks and reduce code duplication.
Objectives
Implement middlewares for checking if a comment exists by ID.
Implement middlewares for error handling.
Refactor the controller functions to use these middlewares.
Acceptance Criteria
The controller functions should be free from repetitive error handling and comment existence checks.
Middlewares should be properly tested to ensure they work as expected.
The overall functionality of the commentController.js should remain unchanged after refactoring.
Tasks
