Exercise tracker: Last user story - Filter exercises by date

JavaScript

Hi there,

I’ve been stuck here for hours and I can’t find they to solve it. Although it does what it is supposed to do, I can’t complete the last challenge. I thought it could be something related with the Date objects but to be honest I don’t know because it is working properly.

Here is my code:

app.get('/api/exercise/log', (req,res) => {
  if(req.query.userId) {
    const userId = req.query.userId
    const user = log.find( user => user._id == userId)

    if(req.query.from && req.query.to) {
      const fromDate = new Date(req.query.from)
      const toDate = new Date(req.query.to)
      const limit = req.query.limit && parseInt(req.query.limit)
      
      const result = user.log.filter( ex => new Date(ex.date) >= fromDate && new Date(ex.date) <= toDate)
      const resultToLog = limit ? result.slice(0,limit) : result
      const toLog = {
        ...user,
        from: fromDate.toDateString(),
        to: toDate.toDateString(),
        count: resultToLog.length,
        log: resultToLog
      }

      res.json(toLog)
  } else {
   if(!user) {
      res.send('There is no an user with that Id')
    } else {
      res.json(user)
    }
  }
  } else {
    res.send('You need to provide an userId')
  }
})

Hey there,

You are correct about this. We are discussing a solution to better informing Campers, but the date returned must be in the toDateString() format:
Flesh-Out Exercise Tracker User Stories and Typo · Issue #40405 · freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp (github.com)

Just to mention, I am unable to get your Repl running - this might be something to do with Repl, though, and will be rectified, eventually.

Hope this helps

I’ve been taking a look into this and reviewing the exercise model to match the requirements but still can’t pass the last user story.

const toLog = {
    description: description,
    duration: parseInt(duration),
    date: date ? new Date(date).toDateString() : new Date().toDateString()
  }

Just to point out: It is expected you will use a database for the project.

The issue is here:

} else {
      if (!user) {
        res.send('There is no an user with that Id')
      } else {
        res.json(user)
      }
    }

If I send a userId, and a limit, it does not do anything with the limit.

Hope this helps

Thank you very much for reviewing and looking into this. It is makes more sense to use a database that using the server itself to hold the data. I hope it is pointed out in the challenge if they update it. Thank you again.
