// Initialize the JSONDatabase instance
const db = new jsonVerse(dataFolderPath);

// Display all the website data
router.get("/", async (req, res) => {
  try {
    const allData = await db.getAllData(); // getAllData is used if you have multiple json files andd you want to show them all
    // ... (rendering logic)
  } catch (err) {
    // ... (error handling)
  }
});

// Add data
router.post("/add", async (req, res) => {
  try {
    const { dataName, name, social, rank, competition, date, edu } = req.body; // here you have to add the dataName which is where you want to save the data in the json files you have, here i store the name of the dataName from the UI (User interface - Front end) 

    // Generate a random unique ID
    // this is a package you have to install

    const newData = {
      id: uniqueID,
      social,
      name,
      rank,
      competition,
      date,
      edu,
    }; // whatever the data you want to receive from the front end form

    await db.addData(dataName, newData);
    // ... (redirect or response)
  } catch (err) {
    // ... (error handling)
  }
});

// Get data by ID
router.get("/:id", async (req, res) => {
  const id = req.params.id;
  try {
    const result = await db.findDataById(id);
    if (result) {
      // ... (rendering logic)

  }
});

// Delete data by ID
router.delete("/:id", async (req, res) => {
