Before I show you how to create a random route,

I encourage you to give it a try yourself.

Look for the correct method to use in the records.js file, look at code

we've written so far to remember syntax and how things should be structured and

go ahead and write the route in the routes.js file.

Pause the video, give it ago, and remember, this challenge is open book.

How’d you do?

If you got stuck somewhere along the line, don’t sweat it.

Watch my solution, finish the course, sleep on it, come back and try again.

If this is pretty new to you, you’ve absorbed a ton of information throughout

this course and sometimes your brain just needs a little time to process it all.

Okay, so let’s dig into it.

I’m simply requesting information, so I’m going to write a GET request.

I'm going to put our new GET request route just underneath

our other two GET requests.

So right after the route that gets a specific quote.

And I will go ahead and move our comment, Up here.

I'll start with router.get.

And we want to respond to a get request to /quotes/quote/random.

The next parameter is an anonymous function that accepts the request,

response, and next objects.

Now I'll set up a try catch block, passing any errors to our global error handler.

Inside the try block, I'll await the results of the records.getRandomQuote()

method, and save it to a variable called quote.

Finally, I'll send back a response containing the random quote as JSON.

I can also route my callback in the asyncHandler function so

I don't have to use tryCatch.

Let's make sure the server is running, go to Postman, and test this out.

Remember, I've set up a router so that all requests must now be sent to /api.

So I will send a get request to /api/quotes/quote/random.

And fantastic, we are receiving random quotes.
