Here's the raw JSON (the one posted below didn't work for me for some reason):
{
"title": "The Final Empire",
"author": "Brandon Sanderson",
"rating": 9,
"pages": 420,
"genres": ["fantasy", "magic"],
"reviews": [
{ "name": "Shaun", "body": "Couldn't put this book down."},
{ "name": "Chun-li", "body": "Love it."}

I think you misses the code line:
app.use(express.json());

Hi shuan looks like the video number in title is wrong it should be 20. Thanks for all the videos

[@BenNouba]

Thanks for the great tutorial.
If anyone faced the problem that when making a post request it just makes a new document with only the id, this is because in postman you need to change (body > raw) from text into json

so 2 minor problems here:
1) You misspelled Rating
2) you have a comma after the data, which if you try to post it with the comma, the post fails.

Awesome book btw.

[@alexpiano]

I like to use async await:
exports.postBook = async (req, res) => {
const newBook = req.body;
let db = getDb();
try {
const result = await db.collection('books').insertOne(newBook);
res.status(200).json(result);
} catch (error) {
res.status(500).json({ msg: 'Could not post new object.' });
}
};

[@mathewdavies1480]

If anyone is having trouble with the post request failing, I have a possible solution.
If your request body is not being received, it is most likely because newer versions of Express don't include the body parser automatically. To test if it is the body is the problem, you can console log the req.body to see if it comes up as null in the terminal upon request.
Take the following steps to correct:
- Stop your server and Install the body parser - npm install body-parser
- Import the body parser at the top of the file - const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
- Enable the body parser for the app, just below the declaration of the app - app.use(bodyParser.json());
- Retry your request and the body parser should convert the Json and solve the problem
This resolved the issue for me.

Please also include mongodb aggregation framework with mongooses or mongodb driver (filtering and sorting sub document arrays) geojson. It would be very helpful 🙏🙏
