Review Summary
Hi! 👋 Thanks for your submission! The server is serving the HTML form and handling the POST request correctly. However, the current implementation overwrites the expense.json file with each new expense, which means only the last expense is stored. To fix this, please modify the code to read the existing expense data, append the new expense to it, and then write the updated array back to the file. Also, src/request.js is not required for the task. You've got this! 👍

The current implementation overwrites the entire expenseData object with the new parsedData. To store multiple expenses, you should read the existing data from expense.json (if any), append the new expense to it, and then write the updated array back to the file. This is essential for accumulating expense records instead of just keeping the last one.
Consider changing this line to something like:
expenseData = Array.isArray(expenseData) ? [...expenseData, parsedData] : [parsedData];
to ensure you're appending to an array (or creating one if it doesn't exist).

Ensure that you are writing an array to the expense.json file. If expenseData is not an array, the data might not be stored as expected.
Consider changing this line to:
fs.writeFileSync(expensePath, JSON.stringify(Array.isArray(expenseData) ? expenseData : [expenseData], null, 2));

Review Summary
Great work on this pull request! 🎉 The code is well-structured and aligns with the task description. The server logic handles GET and POST requests correctly, with error handling in place. The HTML form is also well-structured with necessary fields and the JavaScript correctly sends the form data to the server. src/request.js is not needed, as expected.
Here's a summary of the review:
- The code now correctly reads existing expenses from
expense.json, appends the new expense, and writes the updated data back to the file. - The HTML form includes the necessary fields (date, title, and amount).
- JavaScript code correctly handles form submission, prevents the default action, and sends data via POST. It handles the server response with an alert.
src/request.jsis not required and can be removed.
Since the solution aligns with the task description and addresses all key functionalities, I'm approving this pull request to help you progress in your learning. Keep up the good work! 👍 Please do review the comments to understand where you can improve your code.
