What is the jquery post url?

What is the url I put for the $.post calling to the server for a node.js file. I keep seeing tutorials with php files, but I am confused as to what node.js files to call? Am I suppose to post it to the app.js file or the route file?

This is what the app.js file looks like:

  var express = require('express')
  , app = express()
  , dbUserModel = require('./models/user')
  , db = require('./db')
  , pass = require('./config/passport')
  , passport = require('passport')
  , routes = require('./routes/index')
  , user = require('./routes/user')
  , path = require('path')
  , http = require('http')
  , connect = require('connect')
  , mongoose = require('mongoose')
  , mongoConnect = mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/test5');

// all environments

app.configure(function(){
    app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 3000);
    app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');
    app.set('view engine', 'jade');


    app.use(express.favicon());
    app.use(express.logger('dev'));
    app.use(express.bodyParser());
  app.use(express.cookieParser('sabkdasdkjhakhfkahf7232ujdijaw9jok&^&^@88'));
  //app.use(express.cookieSession());
  app.use(express.methodOverride());
    app.use(passport.initialize());
    app.use(passport.session());
    app.use(app.router);
    app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));    

  //use bottom for 404 error
  app.use(function(req,res){
    res.render('noPage.jade');
  });

});
  app.get('/', routes.index);
  app.get('/register', user.mustBeLoggedOut, user.register);
  app.post('/register', user.registerPost);
  app.get('/login', user.mustBeLoggedOut, user.login);
  app.post('/login', user.loginPost);
  app.get('/userProfile', user.mustBeLoggedIn, user.userProfile);
  app.get('/editUserProfile', user.mustBeLoggedIn, user.editUserProfile);
  app.post('/editUserProfile', user.editUserProfilePost);
  app.get('/loggedIn', user.mustBeLoggedIn, user.loggedIn);
  app.get('/contactList', user.mustBeLoggedIn, user.contactList);
  app.get('/search', user.search);
  app.post('/search', user.searchPost);
  app.get('/user/:id', user.user);
  app.post('/addContact', user.addContactPost);


http.createServer(app).listen(app.get('port'), function(){
  console.log('Express server listening on port ' + app.get('port'));
  console.log('Users: ' + db.collections.users);
});

This is what the route's file looks like: (I know the code in the route file might not be correct in trying to extract the user.id that is associated with the button, still a work in progress)

exports.addContactPost = function(req, res, err) {
    User.findByIdAndUpdate(req.signedCookies.userid,{
                friendRequest: req.body.userid
            }, function(err) {
                if(err) {
                    console.log("post2");
                    return res.render('addContactError', {title: 'Weblio'}); 

                } 

            });
};

This is the script file, trying to figure out the URL:

 $('.addContact').click(function() {
        $.post('user.js', 
            function(data) {

            $('.addContact').html(data);
            }

        );

        if($(this).html!=='Contact Requested') {
            return $(this).html('Contact Requested');
        }
        });  

This is the Jade file:

extends layout
block content   
    div
    legend Search Results
    div#userResults
    for user in ufirstName 
        a(href='/user/#{user.id}')
            p #{user.firstName} #{user.lastName}
        button.addContact Add Contact

NodeJS will run as a web server with its own url. When you launch the server you must specify a url . I guess most of the examples use some localhost address with a port. You can then post to that address. It should not be a php address unless you go via a php page on your own web server

The URL is entirely up to you. From your edited question, /addContact would be a valid path to use with $.post. I note that your code in the addContactPost function doesn't seem to render anything on success...
