Hi,

I’m on Add Path Parameters lesson as part of Fullstack path. I think I’ve put valid answer, but the AI doesn’t accept it.

Can you see where I’m doing wrong?

import http from 'node:http'
import { getDataFromDB } from './database/db.js'

const PORT = 8000

const server = http.createServer(async (req, res) => {
  const destinations = await getDataFromDB()
  const url = req.url.split("/")
  const continent = url.pop()
  
  if (req.url === '/api' && req.method === 'GET') {
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json')
    res.statusCode = 200
    res.end(JSON.stringify(destinations))
  } else if (req.url.startsWith("/api/continent") && req.method === "GET") {
    res.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")
    res.statusCode = 200 
    // res.write(req.url.split("/")[-1])
    res.end(JSON.stringify(destinations.filter(destination => destination.continent === continent)))
  /*
  Challenge:
  1. Check if the url starts with “/api/continent”.
    (Is there a JS method that allows you to check what a string starts with?)

  2. If it does, serve only items from that continent.
    (How can you get to what comes after the final slash?)
    (What method can you use to filter data?)
  */
    } else {
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json')
    res.statusCode = 404
    res.end(JSON.stringify({
      error: "not found",
      message: "The requested route does not exist"
    })
    )
  }
})

server.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`Connected on port: ${PORT}`))

Thank you and happy coding!

Hey @yk-david could you let me know what the AI checker is saying when you submit it? Potentially be a checker issue.

Hi @roku, I went back to this lesson to give a new try, and it worked (with same solution)…

Last time, I can’t figure out why, but it’s all good now!
