node-restful not saving Document "contents" to MongoDb
Add a header in postman of
Content-Type : application/json
and instead of using form fields, send it with as raw json. Worked for me.
I never comment on stackoverflow but this was an issue for me several times and I seem to keep running into this. So, I'll like to HELP everyone.
First Set Header to Content-Type : application/json
Don't include :
into Context-type
.
Second choose raw for the input type. Though this isn't a JSON tutorial, postman notice the difference between single and double quotes.
Use double quotes which is this "
, NOT '
and not ''
. Second, double quote the key and if the value of the key is a string, double quote the expression.
It was always recommended that keys should be single strings (use camel hump notation if necessary). Being a so-called veteran of programming,
I though postman would handle if the keys for the JSON object was variables and not string because of the notation but maybe it is an issue with postman. A picture tells a thousand words so I included a picture.
Note that if you have issues add particular key, it might be your model. Go young grasshopper. (A)lways (B)e (C)oding

P.S I have no affiliation with Postman but I strongly recommend it to anyone trying to work with an API.

What worked for me was selecting x-www-form-urlencoded rather than the default selection of form-data
