Making a MERN-stack app but the delete request function is not working.
This is the relevant code
When trying to send a delete request with Postman this error shows. I search through some other StackOverflow questions but can't find an answer. In my previous express applications, it has worked like a charm.
Cannot DELTE /api/todos

Todos.js
const express = require('express');
const uuid = require('uuid');
const router = express.Router();
const todos = require('../../Todo');
router.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.json(todos);
});
router.get('/:id', (req, res) => {
const found = todos.some(todo => todo.id === req.params.id);
if (!found) {
res.status(400).json({ msg: `No meber whit id of ${req.params.id}` });
} else {
res.json(todos.filter(todo => todo.id === req.params.id));
}
});
router.post('/', (req, res) => {
const newEntry = {
id: uuid.v4(),
title: req.body.title,
completed: false,
};
if (!req.body.title) {
res.status(400).json({ msg: `Pleas include title` });
}
todos.push(newEntry);
res.json(todos);
});
router.delete('/:id', (req, res) => {
const found = todos.some(todo => todo.id === req.params.id);
if (!found) {
res.status(400).json({ msg: `No meber whit id of ${req.params.id}` });
} else {
todos.filter(todo => todo.id !== req.params.id);
res.json(todos);
}
});
module.exports = router;

router.delete('/:id', (req, res) requires a parameter id so the real link should be like DELETE /api/todos/{id}, for example /api/todos/3
As I noticed Your request is sent to /api/todos without parameter
