How can I return a well formatted 201 with Express?

问题

I'm trying to build todoMVC with ember-cli using the DS.RESTAdapter and express to mock out the calls. The issue I'm getting is that when I try to save a new todo I see this error in the console:

SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input
    at Object.parse (native)
    at jQuery.parseJSON (http://localhost:4200/assets/vendor.js:8717:22)
    at ajaxConvert (http://localhost:4200/assets/vendor.js:9043:19)
    at done (http://localhost:4200/assets/vendor.js:9461:15)
    at XMLHttpRequest.jQuery.ajaxTransport.send.callback (http://localhost:4200/assets/vendor.js:9915:8)

I'm pretty sure the issue is that when I call save() on the newly created model, it is sending a post request to / which express is replying to with this:

 todosRouter.post('/', function(req, res) {
    res.status(201).end();
  });

Here's the create action in Ember that's creating the todo:

actions:
    createTodo: ->
      return unless title = @get('newTitle')?.trim()

      @set('newTitle', '')
      @store.createRecord('todo',
        title: title
        isCompleted: false
      ).save()

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to express and not sure why jquery doesn't like the 201 it is returning.

The problem is it's trying to parseJSON on a blank response. It's effectively doing jQuery.parseJSON('') - which does produce an error if you try an run it.

To resolve it you could return any string that can be parsed as JSON - e.g. the string null or empty quotes "".

todosRouter.post('/', function(req, res) {
  res.send('null');
  res.status(201).end();
});

todosRouter.post('/', function(req, res) {
  res.send('""');
  res.status(201).end();
});
