I am trying to save a document to MongoDb using NodeJS. I am using Express, Mongoose, Node-Restful to do the hard work for me. However, although it does create the document in the MongoDb their is no actual content. I only get

[ { "_id": "5460ab83c9e8f9481063df82", "__v": 0 }, { "_id": "5460ac00c9e8f9481063df83", "__v": 0 }, { "_id": "5460ae36c9e8f9481063df85", "__v": 0 }, { "__v": 0 }, { "_id": "5460afb6be7938bc1469ae97", "__v": 0 }, { "_id": "5460fe9088d68e2516cdf572", "__v": 0 }, { "_id": "5460fecfd47cba3916fba0ab", "__v": 0 }, { "_id": "5460fed5d47cba3916fba0ac", "__v": 0 }, { "_id": "5460fed8d47cba3916fba0ad", "__v": 0 }, { "_id": "5460ff079b60285016dfd0da", "__v": 0 } ]

As you can see the actual content is not being saved which for testing purposes is only a name.

My Schema (models/users.js)

var restful = require('node-restful');
var mongoose = restful.mongoose;

var userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
name: String
});


module.exports = restful.model('user',userSchema );

My api (api/api.js)

var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();


var userModel = require('../models/users')

userModel.methods(['get','put','post','delete']);
userModel.register(router,'/user');

module.exports = router;

and the app code (server.js)

console.log("Adding Requires");
var express = require('express');
var fs = require('fs');
var urlEncoded = require('urlencoded-request-parser');
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var override = require('method-override');
var rest = require('node-restful');

console.log("Creating Server Object");
var server = express();
server.locals.moment = require('moment');
server.set('ServerVersion', "5.0.1.7");

console.log("Server setting port");
var port = process.env.port || 1337;

console.log("Connecting to MongooseDB");

mongoose.connect("mongodb://mvm-mongodb.cloudapp/ccslabs-main");

var db = mongoose.connection;
db.on('error', console.error.bind(console, 'connection error:'));
db.once('open', function callback () {
  console.log('Connected to MongoDB successfully');
});


server.disable('x-powered-by');

console.log("Server setting uses");
server.use(urlEncoded());
server.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: true}));
server.use(bodyParser.json());
server.use(override());


console.log("Server setting routes");
var routePath="./routes/"; 
fs.readdirSync(routePath).forEach(function(file) {
    var route=routePath+file;
    console.log("\tAdding routes: " + route)
    require(route)(server);
});

console.log("\tAdding API routes");
server.use('/api',require('./api/api'));

console.log("\tAdding Static Files routes");
server.use(express.static(__dirname + "/content"));

console.log("Server creating sets");
server.set('view engine', 'ejs');
server.set('views', __dirname);

server.listen(port);
console.log("Server listening on port " + port);

The output from nodemon on running server.js is

Adding Requires
Creating Server Object
Server setting port
Connecting to MongooseDB
Server setting uses
Server setting routes
        Adding routes: ./routes/home.js
        Adding routes: ./routes/login.js

Server creating sets
Server listening on port 1337
Connected to MongoDB successfully

I populate the db using Postman chrome extension an empty document is created without the data I posted in the form of a key value pair. name "dave"

So to summarise I send data to the mongodb via node-restuful and mongoose however, although the document is created it does not contain the data. Can anyone see the problem?

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 ment 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 remended 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 remend it to anyone trying to work with an API.

I don't post enough to post images so if someone validates me, feel free to post re-post the image on this page(I just want to help others). http://postimg/image/6xmto3elj/

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