Creating a REST API: Handling GET Requests

After taking a brief detour to create a generic database module, it’s time to continue on with the development of the high-level components discussed in the parent post. In this post, you will add routing, controller, and database logic to handle an HTTP GET request on an “employees” API endpoint. Please Note: This post is part of a series on creating a REST API with Node.js on Oracle Database. See that post for details on the project and links to other parts. Get the code here.

Adding Routing Logic

Express ships with a class that makes it easy to route HTTP requests to the appropriate controller logic. Route paths define the URL endpoints of the API and can contain route parameters that capture values in the URL (query strings are not part of route paths). https://goo.gl/9jPYnB #DataIntegration #ML
