Question

var express=require('express');
var app=express();
var bodyParser=require('body-parser');
var mongoose=require('mongoose');
var createError = require('http-errors')


 app.use(bodyParser.json());


 Genre=require('./model/genre')
Book=require('./model/book')

//connect to Mongoose
mongoose.Promise = global.Promise;
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/bookstore', { useMongoClient: true});
var db=mongoose.connection;


 /*  "/api/books"
 *    GET: finds all books
 *    POST: creates a new book
  */
 app.get('/api/books',function(req,res){
 Book.getBook(function(err,book){
 if(err){

     throw err; //Want this error in json format
 }
  //JSON response will show all books in JSON format
 res.json(book);
    });
  });




     //Connection to the mongodb localhost
  app.listen(27017);

OK here is the way to throw error in json.

  app.get('/api/books',function(req,res,callback){
    Book.getBooks(function(err,book){
     if(err){
         res.status(404).send({ error: 'error in mongo of kalpita!' });

          }else{
          //JSON response will show all books in JSON format
            res.json(book);
           }
        },10);
      });

and also add

Book.find({},callback).limit(limit);

in model.

using above code i am getting the same TypeError. Is there any change that I have to do? My error: TypeError: Book.getBook is not a function

Himanshu sharma Over a year ago

check this out add callback in app.get and send by callback.

If it is saying TypeError: Book.getBook is not function than the Book file is not imported properly . Add the code of Book model let me check

kalpita Over a year ago

below is my book.js file: var mongoose = require('mongoose'); //Book Schma as per the db fields // create instance of Schema var bookSchma = mongoose.Schema({ title:{ type:String, required:true }, genre:{ type:String, required:true }, create_date:{ type:Date, default:Date.now } }); // create model if not exists. var Book = module.exports = mongoose.model('Book',bookSchma); //Get Book module.exports.getBooks =function(callback,limit){ Book.find(callback).limit(limit); }
