I have two api end points. Both are given below. When I do these below axios requests, both the time first api gets triggered. can anyone tell me how the mapping is done here?



1. router.get('/api/posts/user/:id', (req, res)
2. router.get('/api/posts/:tag', (req, res)

1. axios
.get(`http://localhost:5000/api/posts/user/${id}`)
2. axios
.get(`http://localhost:5000/api/posts/${tag}`)

  • How is express supposed to distinguish between user and any other value of :tag? It seems like you're searching for specific posts, this would make more sense as query than path parameters, e.g. /api/posts?tag=....

  • /api/posts?tag=..., here tag is variable. Can you tell me how to write the route here?

  • The route is still /api/posts. Please do some research on query parameters in Express.
