/* node solved.js */ ERR_HTTP_HEADERS_SENT

Question

I got this error when I tried to visit any posts other than the first post I created:
Error [ERR_HTTP_HEADERS_SENT]: Cannot set headers after they are sent to the client
at ServerResponse.setHeader (_http_outgoing.js:482:11)
Here are my codes:
app.js
https://code.sololearn.com/W7RU5635SIin/
post.ejs
https://code.sololearn.com/W2GxyA6oP8WF/
compose.ejs
https://code.sololearn.com/WD2gYz0LcJQj/
I tried Googling it, and some stackoverflow answers say to remove one res.send(), problem is ... I am not using res.send() at all, all is res.render with EJS, and in app.get("/posts/:postTitle",... I have the if-else.
Appreciate a solution. Thanks in advance.

Answer 2

end the loop after sending a response/render. because i think the callback function doesnt end after render()/send()
when the loop continued, it'll try to render and send other post in the array after the original response was sent

Answer 3

maybe for...of so you dont need to add [i] everywhere

Answer 4

foreach would continue to iterate for all post of posts array. It would create multiple renders in a get request posts, but get request only allow to call render or redirect once.
Use for loop with break to ensure it only render/redirect once.
Don't use foreach, since we can't exit foreach loop with break.

Answer 5

So add break; in forEach?
Or I should use conventional for loop?
