Step 10: Displaying your blog posts

Mini challenge #2

Great work! Wipe off those beads of sweat - it's the final mini-challenge. You can do it! 💥

So now we're saving the blog posts to the server. Time to get them and display them on the page!

If you look inside public/script.js, there's a whole bunch of JavaScript code in there. Don't worry about what all the code means, just know that it's responsible for sending a request to GET old blog posts and display them on the page underneath "Recent Posts".

script.js is trying to load existing posts by making a GET request. Look inside script.js and see if you can find any useful endpoints.

Your script.js file will want to receive the JSON containing your blog posts. Your job is to make that happen!

Express has a handy method called res.sendFile() that makes it easy to send files back to the client. Feel free to use this with your JSON.

If all goes well, you should have a fully functional CMS! 😍
