app.js
var employees = require('../models/employees');
employees.read(req.params.id, function(body) {
console.log(body.firstName);
});
models/employees
var request = require('request');
var employees = {
read: function(id, callback) {
request
.get('http://api.mysite.com/employees/' + id, function(error, response, body) {
body = JSON.parse(body);
return callback(body);
})
},
};
module.exports = employees;
This works (returns the employee name correctly), but I'm not sure if this is the correct (async) way of getting data from an API and displaying it.
