Node JS dealing with error "Cannot Post /" - node.js

Question

I am trying to send a post request and dealing with this error "Cannot POST /". What can be the problem? I am using a Postman to send a Post request to our server. My post request is
localhost:4000
Here is my index.js code:
const Joi = require('joi');
Joi.objectId = require('joi-objectid')(Joi);
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const users = require('./routes/users');
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/mongo-games')
.then(() => console.log('Now connected to MongoDB!'))
.catch(err => console.error('Something went wrong', err));
app.use(express.json());
app.use('/api/users', users);
const port = process.env.PORT || 4000;
app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Listening on port ${port}...`));
And here is my user.js code:
const Joi = require('joi');
const mongoose = require('mongoose'); //needed for validation & creating user mongodb schema
const User = mongoose.model('User', new mongoose.Schema({
name: {
type: String,
required: true,
minlength: 5,
maxlength: 50
},
email: {
type: String,
required: true,
minlength: 5,
maxlength: 255,
unique: true
},
password: {
type: String,
required: true,
minlength: 5,
maxlength: 1024
}
}));
function validateUser(user) {
const schema = {
name: Joi.string().min(5).max(50).required(),
email: Joi.string().min(5).max(255).required().email(),
password: Joi.string().min(5).max(255).required()
};
return Joi.validate(user, schema);
}
exports.User = User;
exports.validate = validateUser;
And my users.js code:
const { User, validate } = require('../models/user');
const express = require('express');
const router = express.Router();
router.post('/', async (req, res) => {
// First Validate The Request
const { error } = validate(req.body);
if (error) {
return res.status(400).send(error.details[0].message);
}
// Check if this user already exisits
let user = await User.findOne({ email: req.body.email });
if (user) {
return res.status(400).send('That user already exisits!');
} else {
// Insert the new user if they do not exist yet
user = new User({
name: req.body.name,
email: req.body.email,
password: req.body.password
});
await user.save();
res.send(user);
}
});
module.exports = router;
What am I missing here? Any ideas?

Answer 1

Your middleware is- app.use('/api/users', users);
and your post is about that route.
In your postman> URL > you need to write localhost:4000/api/users.
because this is the URL that gets to the router.

Answer 2

Make sure that you are sending request to the /api/users. Looks like you are trying to send it to / which you are not handling.
