javascript - Express JS unable to PUT/DELETE -

project structure

.app.js .routes/ ....resources.js 

i have following server instance running:

app.js

"use strict"; const app = require('express')(); const resources = require('./routes/resources');  app.use('/', resources);  const server = app.listen('3000', () => {   let host = server.address().address;   host = (host == '::' ? 'localhost' : host);   const port = server.address().port;   // log   console.log('listening @ http://%s:%s', host, port); }); 

i have , post requests working (routes/resources.js) fine i.e.

"use strict" const express = require('express'); const router = express.router(); const bodyparser = require('body-parser'); //parser router.use(bodyparser.json()); // parsing application/json router.use(bodyparser.urlencoded({ extended: true })); // parsing application/x-www-form-urlencoded // data let resources = [{   id: 1,   name: 'foo' }];  // post router.post('/resources', (req, res) => {   let item = req.body;   //send status   if (!item.id) {     return res.sendstatus(500);   }   // saved string, id must int   item.id = parseint(item.id, 10);   // add id   resources.push(item);   // send response of new resource   res.send('/resources/' + parseint(item.id, 10)); }); 

using postman can post, following put , delete give me cannot delete /resources/ message:

// put router.put('/resources/:id', (req, res) => {   // id request   let id = parseint(req.body.id, 10);   // find existing id in resources   let existingitem = resources.filter(r => r.id === id)[0];   // if doesn't exist   if(!existingitem) {     let item = req.body;     item.id = id;     resources.push(item);     res.setheader('location', '/resources/' + id);     res.sendstatus(201)   } else {     existingitem.name = req.body.name;     res.sendstatus(204);   } }); // delete router.delete('/resources/:id', (req, res) => {   let id = parseint(req.body.id, 10);   let existingitem = resources.filter(r => r.id === id)[0];    if (!existingitem) {     return res.sendstatus(404)   }   resources = resources.filter(r => r.id !== id);   res.sendstatus(204) }); 

head scratching why, though may answer staring me in face. appreciated!

doh, gave delete , put paths /:id parameter

router.delete('/resources/:id...)  router.put('/resources/:id'...) 

when merely pointing delete / put requests '/resources/ inside postman.

thanks @molda - made me realise mistake!
