Current state of my product.json file:
{
"product" : [
{
"price": 15.1,
"amount": 6
}
]
}
ideally, after writing to the file and changing the price to 20, i want the file to end up looking like this:
{
"product" : [
{
"price": 20,
"amount": 6
}
]
}
- Can this be achieved with fs.writeFile or something similar?
- If not, is there another way i can do what i want?
current state of my router:
router.get("/", function(req, res){
try{
let comms = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(path.resolve("server",'../product.json')))
res.status(200).json(comms);
} catch(err){
res.status(500).json({
message: "Error retrieving commission(Server)"
});
}
})
router.post("/price", function(req, res){
try{
var input = req.params.price
comms.push(price);
var data = JSON.stringify(comms);
fs.writeFile(path.resolve("server",'../product.json'), comms, function(err){
if (err){
return console.log(err);
}
console.log("the file was saved");
});
} catch(err){
res.status(500).json({
message: "Error writing to file",
error: err
});
}
})
The code above is my attempt of achieving this functionality. The GET router works and successfully reads file however my POST router is the one that is incorrect. How can i change my POST router to achieve the functionality i specified earlier on?
