Code Examples

Here is where I created postById() function to handle any post that need post Id to perform any task. I also imported their controllers:

const Post = require('../models/post');

const formidable = require('formidable');

const fs = require('fs');

const _ = require('lodash');

exports.postById = (req, res, next, id) => {

Post.findById(id)

    .populate('postedBy', '_id name')

    .populate('comments', 'text created')

    .populate('comments.postedBy', '_id name')

    .populate('postedBy', '_id name role')

    .select('_id title body created likes comments photo')

    .exec((err, post) => {

        if (err || !post) {

            return res.status(400).json({

                error: err

            });

        }         

        req.post = post;

        next();

    });

};

Here is where I created the routes for all of like unlike, comments, post routes, photos:

const express = require('express');

const { getPosts, createPost, postsByUser, postById, isPoster, updatePost, deletePost, photo, singlePost, like, unlike, comment, uncomment, updateComment } = require('../controllers/post');

const { requireSignin } = require('../controllers/auth');

const { userById } = require('../controllers/user');

const { createPostValidator } = require('../validator');

const router = express.Router();

router.get('/posts', getPosts);

// like unlike

router.put('/post/like', requireSignin, like);

router.put('/post/unlike', requireSignin, unlike);

// comments

router.put('/post/comment', requireSignin, comment);

router.put('/post/uncomment', requireSignin, uncomment);

router.put('/post/updatecomment', requireSignin, updateComment);

// post routes

router.post('/post/new/:userId', requireSignin, createPost, createPostValidator);

router.get('/posts/by/:userId', requireSignin, postsByUser);

router.get('/post/:postId', singlePost);

router.put('/post/:postId', requireSignin, isPoster, updatePost);

router.delete('/post/:postId', requireSignin, isPoster, deletePost);

// photo

router.get('/post/photo/:postId', photo);

// any route containing :userId, our app will first execute userById()

router.param('userId', userById);

// any route containing :postId, our app will first execute postById()

router.param('postId', postById);

module.exports = router;
