I'm getting the error Article.findbyPK is not a function when I try to go to localhost:3000/articles/1.

I'm pretty sure that I've done exactly the steps that the instructor had listed up to this point and yet the code is failing when it tries to use the route.

router.get("/:id", asyncHandler(async (req, res) => { const article = await Article.findbyPK(req.params.id); res.render("articles/show", { article, title: article.title }); }));

Help???

I realized I had missed an uppercase in the function call - but I'm still getting the same result...

router.get("/:id", asyncHandler(async (req, res) => { const article = await Article.findByPK(req.params.id) res.render("articles/show", { article, title: article.title }); }));

Article.findByPK is not a function TypeError: Article.findByPK is not a function at C:\Users\corya\Documents\Treehouse\sqlize-with-express\routes\articles.js:40:33

Hi there, Cory Aston. It looks like the "k" needs to be lowercase: Article.findByPk().

Hope this helps. :)

OMG - thanks Guil - Literally smacking my head against the desk here trying to figure that one out. Sheesh!

Thanks again!!
