So, I am trying to get different data at different scenarios for the same URL. Here is my code.
1st scenario:
app.get('/upload', function(req, res) {
res.render('upload', {data: 'a'});
});
2nd scenario:
res.redirect('/upload');
app.get('/upload', function(req, res) {
res.render('upload', {data: 'b'});
});
However, for some reason, it always executes the 1st scenario (only passes data: 'a'). How to prioritize each of the get method for a specific situation?
First of all you can not use same string name for two different job.
You can do that with params or query. I have created an example with params for you. You can change switch case for your scenario.
Params
app.get('/upload/:scenario', function(req, res) {
let resultData = {};
switch (req.params.scenario) {
case '1':
resultData = {
data: 'a'
};
break;
case '2':
resultData = {
data: 'b'
};
break;
default:
resultData = {
error: 'wrong id'
};
}
res.render('upload', resultData);
// http://localhost/api/upload/1 -> {"data":"a"}
// http://localhost/api/upload/2 -> {"data":"b"}
});
