Javascript NestJS HTTP 404 Not Found

The requested route does not exist or is not properly configured.

Understanding NestJS and Its Purpose

NestJS is a progressive Node.js framework for building efficient, reliable, and scalable server-side applications. It leverages TypeScript, offering a robust structure for developing server-side applications with a focus on modularity and maintainability. NestJS is built on top of Express.js, providing a familiar environment for developers who have worked with Express.

Identifying the HTTP 404 Not Found Symptom

When working with NestJS, encountering an HTTP 404 Not Found error indicates that the server cannot find the requested resource. This error typically manifests when a client attempts to access a route that does not exist or is incorrectly configured in the application.

Common Observations

  • Requesting a URL returns a 404 status code.
  • The server logs may show no matching route for the requested path.

Explaining the HTTP 404 Not Found Issue

The HTTP 404 Not Found error is a standard response code indicating that the server could not find the requested resource. In the context of a NestJS application, this often means that the route handler for the requested path is missing or misconfigured. This can occur due to typos in the route path, incorrect HTTP methods, or the route not being registered in the module.

Root Causes

  • Incorrect route path in the controller.
  • Mismatch between the HTTP method used in the request and the method defined in the controller.
  • Route not properly registered in the module.

Steps to Fix the HTTP 404 Not Found Issue

To resolve the HTTP 404 Not Found error in a NestJS application, follow these steps:

Verify the Route Path and Method

  1. Open the relevant controller file in your NestJS application.
  2. Check the route path defined in the @Get(), @Post(), @Put(), or other HTTP method decorators. Ensure it matches the path being requested.
  3. Ensure the HTTP method used in the request matches the method defined in the controller.

Check Module Configuration

  1. Open the module file where the controller is supposed to be registered.
  2. Ensure the controller is included in the controllers array of the module.
  3. Verify that the module itself is imported into the root module or any parent module.

Testing the Fix

  1. Restart your NestJS application using npm run start or npm run start:dev.
  2. Send a request to the route again and verify that the 404 error is resolved.
