In my rails application I am trying to create a new user from a json client. However, I am a little stuck on what to send as the json body. The request is properly getting sent to the correct controller, however I keep getting my validations error back as a response. It says the email and username cant be blank. Am I doing someting wrong?
I am POSTing to this url localhost:3000/users.json
I am trying to send this as the json request:
{
"user":
{
"email": "[email protected]",
"username": "noob1",
}
}
In my create action i have this:
# POST /users
# POST /users.json
def create
@user = User.new(params[:user])
respond_to do |format|
if @user.save
format.html { redirect_to @user, notice: 'User was successfully created.' }
format.json { render json: @user, status: :created, location: @user }
else
format.html { render action: "new" }
format.json { render json: @user.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
Here are my routes:
users GET /users(.:format) users#index
POST /users(.:format) users#create
new_user GET /users/new(.:format) users#new
edit_user GET /users/:id/edit(.:format) users#edit
user GET /users/:id(.:format) users#show
PUT /users/:id(.:format) users#update
DELETE /users/:id(.:format) users#destroy
