- To create comments:
Set your HTTP request to POST. Post requests are different from Get request as there is data manipulation with the user adding data to the endpoint.
You must first create a user to proceed. To do so, input this link in request url: http://localhost:3000/api/v1/users. Input your user information to include the keys "name", "email", "password", and "password_confirmation" in the body of the request. Ensure that the code has been copied correctly with paired curly braces and brackets. Send the request as JSON.
A token will be provided in the output. Copy the token and paste it into the box displayed by the "Bearer Token" option of the "Authorization" section. Input http://localhost:3000/api/v1/posts/:post_id/comments into the HTTP request, which is set to POST. Send the comment as JSON.
And finally you can create a new comment. The HTTP request should remain as http://localhost:3000/api/v1/posts/:post_id/comments, set to Post and the comment in JSON format. Input the comment with the "content" key and ensure that the code has been inputted correctly with paired curly braces and brackets.
Status: 201 Created should be displayed and posted data should be showing up in the body.
