Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.

Your code so far

require(“dotenv”).config();
const express = require(“express”);
const cors = require(“cors”);
const app = express();
const urlparser = require(“url”);
const dns = require(“dns”);
app.use(express.json());
// Basic Configuration
// bodyparser
const bodyparser = require(“body-parser”);
//connecting database
const mongoose = require(“mongoose”);
mongoose.connect(process.env.db, {
useNewUrlParser: true,
useUnifiedTopology: true
});
//making schema
const schema = mongoose.Schema({
url: “String”
});
const Url = mongoose.model(“Url”, schema);

//port
const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;

app.use(cors());

app.use("/public", express.static(${process.cwd()}/public));

app.get("/", function (req, res) {
res.sendFile(process.cwd() + “/views/index.html”);
});
//using bodyparser
app.use(bodyparser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));

// Your first API endpoint

app.post("/api/shorturl", (req, res) => {
const bodyurl = req.body.url;
console.log(bodyurl);
const something = dns.lookup(
urlparser.parse(bodyurl).hostname,
(error, address) => {
if (!address) {
res.json({ error: “Invalid URL” });
} else {
const url = new Url({ bodyurl });
url.save((err, data) => {
res.json({ original_url:data.url, short_url: data.id });
})
}
console.log(“dns”,error)
console.log(“address”,address)

}

);
console.log(“something”, something);

});
app.get("/api/shorturl/:id", function (req, res) {
const id = req.params.id;
Url.findById(id, (err, data) => {
if (!data) {
res.json({ error: “Invalid URL” });
} else {
res.redirect(data.url);
}
});
});

app.listen(port, function () {
console.log(Listening on port ${port});
});

Something is trying to read a variable that you think has a var.url property, but the JavaScript interpreter says var is undefined. You try to access several .url properties; start looking there by logging the variable. Post a link to a repl and you’ll probably get better help.

P.S. The links at the bottom of your post are to the header parser.

From what I see, there are three places where .url is used:

1. const bodyurl = req.body.url;
2. res.json({ original_url:data.url, short_url: data.id });
3. res.redirect(data.url);

Case 1 follows body-parser middleware, so I assume it should be fine. Case 3 is guarded by if(!data) so it should be fine also.
What’s left is case 2:

url.save((err, data) => {
 res.json({ original_url:data.url, short_url: data.id });
})

Looks like saving is erroring, so I’d console.log(err) and see what error I’m getting and then go from there.
