I am working locally. I do not understand why terminal will not output post body. The problem started when I just tried to log the buffer. I also get this error in chrome:
This page isnβt working localhost didnβt send any data. ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE
My router code here:
var Profile = require("./profile.js");
var renderer = require('./renderer');
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() === "get") {
//show search
response.writeHead(200, commonHeaders);
renderer.view("header", {}, response);
renderer.view("search", {}, response);
renderer.view("footer", {}, response);
response.end();
}
//if url == "/" && POST
} else if (request.method.toLowerCase() === "post"){
//get POST data from body
request.on("data", function(postBody) {
//extract username
var query = querystring.parse(postBody.toString());
response.write(query.username);
response.end();
//redirect to /:username
});
}
}
//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,
javascriptPoints: profileJSON.points.JavaScript
}
//Simple response
renderer.view("profile", values, response);
renderer.view("footer", {}, response);
response.end();
});
//on "error"
studentProfile.on("error", function(error){
//show error
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;

17,737 Pointsyour if else statement is
if(request.url == "/") {
} else if (request.method.toLowerCase() === "post"){
});
check your '}', you have an extra one after you check for 'get' method
