[Node.js]25. Level 5. Route params
Create a route that responds to a GET request '/quotes/<name>'
, then use the param from the URL to retrieve a quote from the quotes
object and write
it out to the response. Note: No piping here, just write the quote string to the response like you did in previous levels (and then close the response).
var express = require('express'); var app = express.createServer(); var quotes = { 'einstein': 'Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving', 'berners-lee': 'The Web does not just connect machines, it connects people', 'crockford': 'The good thing about reinventing the wheel is that you can get a round one', 'hofstadter': 'Which statement seems more true: (1) I have a brain. (2) I am a brain.' }; app.get('/quotes/:name', function(request, response){ var quote = quotes[request.params.name]; response.end(quote); }); app.listen(8080);
