Code Snippets

router.get('/', asyncHandler(async(req, res, next) => {
    // Get all questions
    const questions = await Question.findAll();
    // Get votes associated with each question

    res.render('questions', { questions });
  }));


  router.get('/:id', checkAuth, asyncHandler(async(req, res, next) => {
    const questionId = parseInt(req.params.id);
    // Find question based on id
    let currentUserId = 0;
    if (req.user) {
      currentUserId = req.user.dataValues.id;
    }
    const question = await Question.findByPk(questionId);
    // Grab username by question.userId
    const user = await User.findByPk(question.userId);
    question.author = user.userName;
    // Find votes associated with question
    let score = await countQuestionVotes(questionId);

    // Find associated answers based on id
