Write Data to MongoDB - Sinatra

Add a web route to insert data

In the app.rb file, add a post route called add_restaurant, as shown in the following code:

post '/add_restaurant' do
    Restaurant.create!(params[:restaurant])
end

Post a request to create a restaurant entry

Send a Restaurant instance to the add_restaurant endpoint by running the following command from the application root directory:

curl -d \
'restaurant[name]=Good+Earth+Cafe&restaurant[cuisine]=Cafe&restaurant[borough]=Queens' \
http://localhost:4567/add_restaurant

View the data

Refresh http://localhost:4567/list_restaurants in your web browser to view the new restaurant entry that you submitted. The inserted restaurant appears at the bottom of the list.
