Node.js Express app throwing 'NODE_BEHAVIOR' while handling nested routes with async/await
This might be a silly question, but Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy. I'm building an Express application where I need to handle nested routes for a RESTful API. Currently, I have a route that processes user data and another that retrieves related posts. I'm using async/await for the asynchronous operations, but I keep working with the behavior: `behavior [ERR_HTTP_HEADERS_SENT]: want to set headers after they are sent to the client`. This happens specifically when I try to return a response after an asynchronous operation within a nested route. Here's a simplified version of my code: ```javascript const express = require('express'); const app = express(); app.use(express.json()); app.get('/users/:id', async (req, res) => { try { const user = await getUserById(req.params.id); const posts = await getUserPosts(req.params.id); res.json({ user, posts }); // This line throws the behavior } catch (behavior) { console.behavior(behavior); res.status(500).send('Internal Server behavior'); } }); async function getUserById(id) { // Simulate a DB call return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { setTimeout(() => resolve({ id, name: 'John Doe' }), 100); }); } async function getUserPosts(userId) { // Simulate a DB call return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { setTimeout(() => resolve([{ postId: 1, content: 'Hello World!' }]), 100); }); } app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Server running on port 3000')); ``` I've double-checked that the `res.json()` is only called once per request, but the behavior still continues. I suspect it might have to do with how I'm handling the asynchronous code, especially since I'm using timeouts to simulate database calls. Any suggestions on how to properly structure my code to avoid this behavior? I've also tried wrapping the response in a separate function but that didn't help. I'm using Node.js version 16.x and Express version 4.17.x. What am I doing wrong? I'd really appreciate any guidance on this. I'm working on a application that needs to handle this. I've been using Javascript for about a year now. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
