expressjsHow do I use Express.js to patch a route?


Express.js is a web application framework for Node.js. It is used to create web applications and APIs. To patch a route with Express.js, you need to use the app.patch method. This method takes two parameters: a path and a callback function. The path is the URL of the route you want to patch, and the callback function is the code that will be executed when the route is requested.

Example

app.patch('/users/:id', (req, res) => {
  // code to patch the user
});

This code adds a route for patching a user with the given ID. The req object contains the request data, and the res object is used to send a response back to the client.

Code explanation

  1. app.patch - The method used to create a route for patching.
  2. '/users/:id' - The URL of the route.
  3. (req, res) - The parameters passed into the callback function.
  4. // code to patch the user - The code that will be executed when the route is requested.
