Ch 06 - Implementing POST, PUT and DELETE with Express (3) using Postman doesn't work
I followed all the instruction on that page. Everything looks good.
I can POST some JSON using
node -e "http.request('http://localhost:3000/bicycle', { method: 'post', headers: {'content-type': 'application/json'}}, (res) => res.setEncoding('utf8').once('data', console.log.bind(null, res.statusCode))).end(JSON.stringify({data: {brand: 'Gazelle', color: 'red'}}))"
It returns 201 {"id":"3"}
and I can GET that using
node -e "http.get('http://localhost:3000/bicycle/3', (res) => res.setEncoding('utf8').once('data', console.log))"
So far so good.
Now I am trying to POST new JSON using POSTMAN by hitting
http://localhost:3000/bicycle
with some JSON in the body
I can get output 201
with response
{ "id" : "4" }
Using POSTMAN, I try GET
http://localhost:3000/bicycle/4
I get 200 OK
but without response body. The response body is empty.
Now I try using node
node -e "http.get('http://localhost:3000/bicycle/4', (res) => res.setEncoding('utf8').once('data', console.log))"
I get nothing returned in the console.
My question, it seems like I can only do POST using node command line, but not using Postman. Why is that? Executing POST request using Postman should be the same as using Node cli , right ?
Thank You

The JSON body in your post request in postman is wrong.
It should be:{ "data": { "brand": "Gucci", "color": "Black" } }
In real life situation there would be validation on that post route and you would not get a 201.

Adding screenshot.
Creating new object (POST)
Getting that object (GET)
Getting that object using node cli
Another test:
Creating another new object and getting it using node cli
Getting that object (GET) using Postman
Not sure why I can't GET the new object that was created using Postman , but I am able to get it when it was created using Node cli
