Hey guys! I am attempting to run the app, but I am getting a bad gateway 502 error. Here's my code for router.js:
var Profile = require("./profile.js"); var renderer = require("./renderer.js"); var querystring = require("querystring");
var commonHeaders = {'Content-Type': 'text/html'};
//Handle HTTP route GET / and POST / i.e. Home
function home(request, response){ //if url === "/" && GET if(request.url === "/"){ if(request.method.toLowerCase() === "") { response.writeHead(200, commonHeaders); renderer.view("header", {}, response); renderer.view("search", {}, response); renderer.view('footer', {}, response); response.end(); } } else { //if url === "/" && POST
//get the post data from body
request.on("data", function(postBody) {
//extract the username
var query = querystring.parse(postBody.toString());
//redirect to /:username
response.writeHead(303, {"Location": "/" + query.username});
response.end();
console.log(postBody.toString());
});
}
}
//Handle HTTP route GET /:username i.e. /chalkers function user(request, response){ //if url === "/...." var username = request.url.replace("/", ""); if(username.length > 0) { response.writeHead(200, commonHeaders); renderer.view("header", {}, response); //get json from Treehouse var studentProfile = new Profile(username); //on "end" studentProfile.on("end", function(profileJSON){ //show profile
//store the values which we need
var values = {
avatarURL: profileJSON.gravatar_url,
username: profileJSON.profile_name,
badges: profileJSON.badges.length,
javascript: profileJSON.points.JavaScript
}
//Simple response
renderer.view("profile", values, response);
renderer.view("footer", {}, response);
response.end();
});
//on "error"
studentProfile.on("error", function(error){
//show errror
renderer.view("error", {errorMessage: error.message}, response);
renderer.view("search", {}, response);
renderer.view("footer", {}, response);
response.end();
});
} }
module.exports.home = home; module.exports.user = user;

14,782 PointsIn your home function, in the second if statement:
if(request.method.toLowerCase() === "")
You are missing the "get" keyboard, and the browser can't evaluate it, it should be
if(request.method.toLowerCase() === "get")
Hope it helps.
