The request won't go through api path - node.js

Question

I'm making a post request with jquery to '/get_access_token' url. but it is not going through. In postman the request is stuck in 'Sending'. Below I'm adding the code.
app.js
const myRouter = require('./src/routes/myRouter ');
app.use('/get_access_token', myRouter );
myRouter,js
//this is inside myRouter
const express = require('express');
const myRouter= express.Router();
const myController = require('../controllers/myController');
function router() {
debug('inside router');
const { getAccessToken } = myController();
debug(getAccessToken);
//from here it is not going down
myRouter.route('/get_access_token').post((request) => {
debug('inside api call');
const result = getAccessToken(request);
});
}
module.exports = router;
myController.js
const client = require('path to client');
function myController() {
function getAccessToken(request) {
debug('inside getAccessToken');
const PUBLIC_TOKEN = request.body.public_token;
Promise((resolve, reject) => {
client.exchangePublicToken(PUBLIC_TOKEN, (error, tokenResponse) => {
if (error != null) {
reject(new Error('Could not get access token'));
}
const ACCESS_TOKEN = tokenResponse.access_token;
const ITEM_ID = tokenResponse.item_id;
debug(ACCESS_TOKEN);
debug(ITEM_ID);
resolve('Access Token was acquired succesfully');
});
});
}
return {
getAccessToken
};
}
module.exports = myController;
jquery request, only the portion when there is a public token
onSuccess: function(public_token) {
debugger;
$.post('/get_access_token', {
public_token: public_token
}, function() {
$('#container').fadeOut('fast', function() {
$('#intro').hide();
$('#app, #steps').fadeIn('slow');
});
});
}

This is the issue
module.exports = router;
Router is the function, not the router actually, it cannot work.
It can theoretically work if you exports the myRouter, but you have to define it properly.
I suggest to find some "express boilerplate" on internet, make it work and then just update that code to your needs
