00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,270
Before I show you how to
create a random route,

2
00:00:02,270 --> 00:00:04,390
I encourage you to give it a try yourself.

3
00:00:04,390 --> 00:00:08,670
Look for the correct method to use
in the records.js file, look at code

4
00:00:08,670 --> 00:00:12,540
we've written so far to remember syntax
and how things should be structured and

5
00:00:12,540 --> 00:00:15,395
go ahead and
write the route in the routes.js file.

6
00:00:15,395 --> 00:00:18,460
Pause the video, give it ago, and
remember, this challenge is open book.

7
00:00:21,540 --> 00:00:22,440
How’d you do?

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,060
If you got stuck somewhere along the line,
don’t sweat it.

9
00:00:25,060 --> 00:00:28,860
Watch my solution, finish the course,
sleep on it, come back and try again.

10
00:00:28,860 --> 00:00:32,050
If this is pretty new to you, you’ve
absorbed a ton of information throughout

11
00:00:32,050 --> 00:00:35,700
this course and sometimes your brain just
needs a little time to process it all.

12
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:37,300
Okay, so let’s dig into it.

13
00:00:37,300 --> 00:00:41,170
I’m simply requesting information,
so I’m going to write a GET request.

14
00:00:41,170 --> 00:00:45,050
I'm going to put our new GET
request route just underneath

15
00:00:45,050 --> 00:00:46,930
our other two GET requests.

16
00:00:46,930 --> 00:00:49,380
So right after the route
that gets a specific quote.

17
00:00:50,770 --> 00:00:56,746
And I will go ahead and
move our comment, Up here.

18
00:01:03,028 --> 00:01:05,870
I'll start with router.get.

19
00:01:05,870 --> 00:01:13,560
And we want to respond to a get
request to /quotes/quote/random.

20
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,236
The next parameter is an anonymous
function that accepts the request,

21
00:01:17,236 --> 00:01:18,835
response, and next objects.

22
00:01:25,530 --> 00:01:31,968
Now I'll set up a try catch block, passing
any errors to our global error handler.

23
00:01:37,756 --> 00:01:42,619
Inside the try block, I'll await the
results of the records.getRandomQuote()

24
00:01:42,619 --> 00:01:45,439
method, and
save it to a variable called quote.

25
00:01:53,113 --> 00:01:56,785
Finally, I'll send back a response
containing the random quote as JSON.

26
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,640
I can also route my callback in
the asyncHandler function so

27
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,100
I don't have to use tryCatch.

28
00:02:16,790 --> 00:02:20,750
Let's make sure the server is running,
go to Postman, and test this out.

29
00:02:20,750 --> 00:02:25,690
Remember, I've set up a router so that
all requests must now be sent to /api.

30
00:02:25,690 --> 00:02:33,328
So I will send a get request
to /api/quotes/quote/random.

31
00:02:37,034 --> 00:02:40,433
And fantastic,
we are receiving random quotes.
