styler:

I'm trying to create a simple node server that on a GET request for the following paths, returns some static JSON:

/employees /employees/:id

I've created 2 GET requests, but my problem comes when trying to GET 1 Employee as the employees data doesn't exist, I've tried using a variable to store the data in /employees but this doesn't seem to work. Do I need to combine and check if an id exists?

 let employees = []

app.get('/employees', (req, res) => { let data = generate(100) employees = data

    console.log(req.body)

    res.json({
        "status": "success",
        "data": data,
        "message": []
    }).end()
})

app.get('/employees/:id', (req, res) => {
    let employee = _.find(employees, {"id": req.params.id}) //employees doesn't exist

    res.json({
        "status": "success",
        "data": employee,
        "message": []
    }).end()
})
