Unable to post on nodejs in heroku - node.js

Question

I have a nodejs app running on Heroku. Here is the server.js file
var express = require('express')
, cors = require('cors')
, app = express();
var http = require('http').Server(app);
var io = require("socket.io").listen(http);
app.use(cors());
require('./modules/routes.js')(app,io);
app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 5000);
app.listen(app.get('port'), function () {
console.log('Express server listening on port ' + app.get('port'));
});
Here is my routes.js
"use strict";
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var session = require('express-session');
var time = require('express-timestamp');
var Promise = require('promise');
var momentjs = require('moment');
var _ = require('lodash');
var method = routes.prototype;
function routes(app, io) {
app.use(time.init);
app.use(cookieParser());
app.use(session({ secret: 'asdo8rter65edfgfd53wet34634632y4bluaq', resave: true, saveUninitialized: true }));
app.all('/', function(req, res, next) {
res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "X-Requested-With");
next();
});
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.post('/testHeroku', function(req, res) {
console.log(req);
res.write(JSON.stringify({
process: "success"
}));
res.end();
});
}
method.getroutes = function() {
return this;
}
module.exports = routes;
I'm trying to access /testHeroku from an ionic app running in android emulator.
Ionic code:
vm.testHeroku = function(){
console.log('testing heroku');
var testdata = {
url: config.baseURL + 'testHeroku',
dataServer: {
serverTaskRequest: 'getUADSF'
}
}
runajax.runajax_function(testdata, function (testdataResponse) {
if (testdataResponse.process == 'success') {
alert(testdataResponse.process);
}
});
};
Here goes my config.baseURL = abcd-1234.herokuapp.com (This is example for the heroku app url)
I don't receive any return form the http call.
Code for run_ajax service
.service('runajax', ['$http', function ($http) {
this.runajax_function = function (request, callback) {
var url = request.url;
var dataServer = request.dataServer;
// console.log('runajax function called -> ' + url);
// console.log(dataServer);
$http.post(url, dataServer).success(function (data, status, headers, config) {
callback(data);
})
.error(function () {
callback(status);
});
}
}])

Answer 1

I got it working. There was an error with app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 5000); I changed it to var port = process.env.PORT || 8080;
