I have two files in my route folder of node application like fetchCity.js and addNewDevice.js. I want to forward the request parameters from addNewDevice.js to fetchCity.js and process the response in addNewDevice.js file. I tried following code but is not working.
var express = require('express');
module.exports = function(app){
var cors = require('cors');
var coptions = {
"origin": "*",
"methods": "GET,HEAD,PUT,POST,OPTIONS",
"preflightContinue": false,
"allowedHeaders":['Content-Type']
}
var db = require('./dbclient');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.use(cors(coptions));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended:true}));
app.post('/newBinDevice', function(req, res, next) {
var did = req.body.deviceid;
var sver = req.body.swver;
var city = req.body.city;
var circle = req.body.circle;
app.post('/fetchCityArea',function(req,res){
console.log('Response from fetchCityArea is ' + JSON.stringify(res));
});
});
}
Solved the issue by using http module in node.js code and sending the request as per below pseudo code.
var http = require('http');
app.post('/abc',function(req,res) {
http.get(url,function(resp){
resp.on('data',function(buf){//process buf here which is nothing but small chunk of response data});
resp.on('end',function(){//when receiving of data completes});
});
});
