In Node/express I have a POST request that if it contains an id I would like it to call the PUT method instead. No redirect, just how to call the put method from the post method?
router.put('/:id', function(req, res) {
// code ...
});
router.post('/:id?', function(req, res) {
if (req.params.id) {
// call PUT method
}
});
I don't want to do a redirect, just make it as if it was part of the current request.

Reset to default 7Move the code to a named function and call that instead.
function handlePut(req, res) {
// code ...
}
router.put('/:id', handlePut);
router.post('/:id?', function(req, res) {
if (req.params.id) {
return handlePut(req, res);
}
// don't forget to handle me!
});
