const express = require('express'); const posts = require("./mock/posts.json");
const app = express();
app.get('/', (req, res) => { res.send("<h1>I Love Treehouse!</h1>"); }); app.get('/blog', (req, res) => { res.send('posts'); }); app.listen(3000, () => { console.log("The frontend server is running on port 3000!") });
const express = require('express');
const posts = require("./mock/posts.json");
const app = express();
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send("<h1>I Love Treehouse!</h1>");
});
app.get('/blog', (req, res) => {
res.send('posts');
});
app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log("The frontend server is running on port 3000!")
});

Your problem is simple.
posts is a variable, so it does not need to be in quotes.
Lose them and you'll be OK.
This:
res.send('posts');
Should be"
res.send( posts );
I hope that helps.
Stay safe and happy coding!

Have a great week! (I can't believe it's March already!?! LOL)
PS: I don't know if it's your thing, but I'm telling everyone about it. If you haven't seen Resident Alien on the Sci-Fi channel it's hilarious! (SOOOOOOO funny!). You can watch it On Demand or on the website (as well as on the Sci-Fi channel). They've run 5 episodes so far - each one better than the last - and episode #6 will air 10:00 pm this coming-up Wednesday - can't wait!?! Late'
