Routing issue with $routes->post

Every time I try to post to the create news. CI is not finding the route. Am I doing something wrong? Tested this using postman.

Controller

PHP Code:

<?php namespace App\Controllers\api;
use CodeIgniter\API\ResponseTrait;
use App\Models\NewsModel;

class News extends \CodeIgniter\Controller {

 public function getNews($slug=null) {      
        $model = new NewsModel();
        if(strlen($slug) > 1) {
            $news = $model->getNews($slug);  
        }  else {
            $news = $model->getNews();
        }
        $this->response->setHeader('Cache-Control', 'no-cache')
                      ->appendHeader('Cache-Control', 'must-revalidate')
                      ->setContentType('application/json');
        if($news) {
            return $this->respond($news);
        }
        else {
          return $this->fail('No records returned');
        }
    }

    public function createNews() {
        
        $model = new NewsModel();

        if($this->validate([
            'title' => 'required|min_length[3]|max_length[255]',
            'body'  => 'required',
                            ]) ) {
        $model->save([
            'title' => $this->request->getPost('title'),
            'slug'  => url_title($this->request->getPost('title')),
            'body'  => $this->request->getVar('body')
            ]);
            $data['result'] = "Records has been created";
            return  $this->respondCreated($data);
        }  else {
            $data['errors'] = \Config\Services::validation()->getErrors();
            return $this->fail($data);
        }
    }
} 


Routes

PHP Code:

$routes->get('api/news', 'App\Controllers\api\News::getNews');
$routes->get('api/news/(:segment)', 'App\Controllers\api\News::getNews/$1');
$routes->post('api/news', 'App\Controllers\api\News::createNews'); 


Thanks in advance

Did you try using route groups?

PHP Code:

$routes->group('api', ['namespace' => 'App\Controllers\api'], function($routes)
    $routes->get('news', 'News::getNews');
    $routes->get('news/(:segment)', 'News::getNews/$1');
    $routes->post('news', 'News::createNews');
}); 


Remember you need to use the correct namespace also.

What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?

Same result, I do have the namespace correct on my routes although the grouping looks much nicer. The routing is still incorrect.

PHP Code:

$routes->post('api/news', 'App\Controllers\api\News::createNews'); 


Thanks

PHP Code:

namespace App\Controllers\api; 


Is you News controller in the 'api' subdirectory?

PHP Code:

Is you News controller in the 'api' subdirectory?

Yes

Are you sure the form is posted to the right URL? Show your opening form tag.

I'm using it as an API end point. Testing it with postman. Sending a post request.

Route:

PHP Code:

$routes->group('api', ['namespace' => 'App\Controllers\api'], function($routes) {
 $routes->resource('news');
});

It doesn't matter if it's an html form or if you use postman. At what URL do you post the data? If CI doesn't find the route, maybe that route isn't configured at all or is misconfigured or you have an error in your post url.

The route is configured correctly and I'm not seeing any errors on the logs.

Ok, fine. If you don't want to give more info, then there's nothing more I can do.
