Adding server js files to get stuff from database?

[henrikra]

Hello

Is it possible to add example on how can I add api routes where I can get data from database form example? I tried to add app.get('/api/lol', function response(req, res) { res.write("looooooooooool"); }); to server.js and call it with jQuery $.get('/api/lol', function(result) { console.log(result); }); but Im not getting anything back.

I think this has to be something with app.get('*', function response ?

That should work, but you have to add it at the top. Right after const app = express() :-)

Thank you jesus! It worked :D

If you look a bit further down you see a app.get('*'..., this one picks up all get requests. Any get routes defines after it will never be checked :-) That is the reason
