In this part, we would write the functions to POST, PUT and delete a country record from the database.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make a POST Request<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Make an UPDATE<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. DELETE A Country<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    1. Make a POST Request<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Before you continue, you need to install a library that help parse the body of a http request. It is called body-parser. install it using npm install body parser.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Add the BodyParser:<\/strong>\u00a0This is used to handle conversion to and from json.
    \n<\/p>\n

    const<\/span> bodyParser =<\/span> require(\"body-parser\"<\/span>);\r\napp.use(bodyParser.json());\r\n<\/pre>\n
     <\/p>\n
    The service method:<\/p>\n

    3. DELETE A Country<\/strong><\/h4>\n
    The service method for delete<\/p>\n
    export<\/span> const<\/span> deleteCountry =<\/span> async (id:number<\/span>) =><\/span> {\r\n    return<\/span> await db.any('SELECT FROM Country WHERE id = $1'<\/span>, [id])\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n
