JavaScript Build a Simple Dynamic Site with Node.js Handling Routes in Node.js Handling Routes Review

can i get some help or do i just leave this platform? i haven’t had an instructor able to help at all

where do people get help from? other students? I have to look to other students to get help? i can’t get help in a learning platform? i don’t understand? outdated information, and i’m supposed to know it’s not working and outdated, and i should find a solution, even though i’m learning all of this. this is completely ridiculous.

routes.js
function root(request, response) {
    if(request.url == "/") {
        response.writeHead(200, {'Content-type': "text/plain"});
        response.end("Home\n");
    }
}

function contact(request, response) {
    if(request.url == "/contact") {
        response.writeHead(200, {'Content-type': "text/plain"});
        response.end("Contact\n");
    }
}

// Import any necessary modules if required

function about(request, response) {
    if (request.url == "/about") {
        response.writeHead(200, { 'Content-type': "text/plain" });
        response.end("About\n");
    }
}

module.exports = {
    about: about,
    // You can add other route functions here if needed
};


module.exports.root = root;
module.exports.contact = contact;
index.js
var http = require("http");
var routes = require("./routes.js");

http.createServer(function(request, response) {
    if (request.url === "/") {
        routes.root(request, response);
    } else if (request.url === "/contact") {
        routes.contact(request, response);
    } else if (request.url === "/about") {
        routes.about(request, response); // Handle the /about route
    } else {
        response.writeHead(404, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' });
        response.end("404 Not Found\n");
    }
}).listen(3000);

Try starting with JavaScript Basics. Spamming the Community with posts of frustration helps no one.

Start the course over. Great advice.
