I am getting an error 404 using nodeJS and express

Question

I'm having an issue with the routes in my project called review. My other routes have no issue so I'm not sure where I went wrong here. I keep getting error 404 in my frontend and in postman. I believe everything is linking to the right information. I go the route

http://localhost:8080/api/review/addReview and get the 404 error

This is my server.js

const express = require("express");
const cors = require("cors");
const dbConfig = require("./app/config/db.config");

const app = express();

var corsOptions = {
  origin: "http://localhost:8081"
};

app.use(cors(corsOptions));

// parse requests of content-type - application/json
app.use(express.json());

// parse requests of content-type - application/x-www-form-urlencoded
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));

const db = require("./app/models");
// const Role = db.role;

app.use('/uploads', express.static('uploads'));

db.mongoose
  .connect(`mongodb+srv://[email protected]/shop?retryWrites=true&w=majority`, {
    useNewUrlParser: true,
    useUnifiedTopology: true,
    useFindAndModify: false
  })
  .then(() => {
    console.log("Successfully connect to MongoDB.");
    // initial();
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error("Connection error", err);
    process.exit();
  });

// routes
// require(".app/routes/favourite.routes")(app);
require("./app/routes/auth.routes")(app);
require("./app/routes/user.routes")(app);

app.use('/api/admin', require('./app/routes/admin.routes'));
app.use('/api/review', require('./app/routes/review.routes'));

// set port, listen for requests
const PORT = 8080;
app.listen(PORT, () => {
  console.log(`Server is running on port ${PORT}.`);
});

My routes file

const express =  require('express');
const router = express.Router();
const {authJwt} = require("../middlewares");
const Review = require("../models/review.model")

router.use(function(req, res, next) {
      res.header(
        "Access-Control-Allow-Headers",
        "x-access-token, Origin, Content-Type, Accept"
      );
      next();
});


router.post("/addReview", [authJwt.verifyToken], (req, res) => {
    const review = new Review(req.body)

    review.save((err, review) => {
        if(err) return res.json({success:false, err})
        
        Review.find({'_id': review._id})
        .populate('author')
        .exec((err, result) => {
            if(err) return res.json({success: false, err})
            return res.status(200).json({success: true, result})
        })
    })
    
})

module.exports = router ;

My review model file

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

const Review = mongoose.model(
  "Review",
  new mongoose.Schema({
    prodID: String,
    productTitle: String,
    reviewId: String,
    content: String,
    author: [
      {
        type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
        ref: "User",
      },
    ]
  })
);

module.exports = Review;

Everything looks ok. Your api/review/addReview route method is POST, so please check you are making post request from Postman .
