@pitaj excuse my ignorance, But how would I use this?

I've tried

function testrender(req, res, next) {
	const Posts = require('../../src/posts/data.js');
	var postid = '60617ae45d48fbb848f496aa';
   res.render('test321', { uid: Posts.Posts.getPostData(postid) }); 
};

But I get error "Cannot read property 'getPostData' of undefined" ?

I have a custom route with custom template. I have a list of post _id's that I need to be displayed on this custom template. Pretty much like how it looks when you filter by tag.

Very new to nodebb, please point me to the right direction how I can query posts by _id and pass it to be displayed on template.

@julian Thanks for the reference.

I loaded the Quickstart plugin and followed the example.
Added my route but I’m still getting “not found” when I go to http://localhost:4567/test321.

plugin.addRoutes = async ({ router, middleware, helpers }) => {
	function render(req, res, next) {
	  helpers.formatApiResponse(200, res);
	  //  res.send('Test') // tried this also
	};
	router.get('/test321', render);
	router.get('/quickstart/:param1', middleware.authenticate, (req, res) => {
		helpers.formatApiResponse(200, res, {
			foobar: req.params.param1,
		});
	});
};

I want to add my own custom route that can take POST requests and write my own logic to provide a dynamic response.

I tried nodebb-plugin-custom-pages, but seems like that only does a GET request and only way to add content there is by ACP->/extend/widgets.

Im not advanced enough to write my own plug ins , is there a simpler way to achieve what I need?
