--request 'POST' \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
{
"name": "Pranav Agate",
"school": "UP Public School",
"subject": "Math",
"contact": "1234567890"
}
}' \
'{registry-url}/api/v1/{entity-type}/'
printf '{
"name": "Pranav Agate",
"school": "UP Public School",
"subject": "Math",
"contact": "1234567890"
}' | http post \
'{registry-url}/api/v1/{entity-type}' \
'content-type: application/json'
{registry-url} is usually http://localhost:{port}. The port can be found under the registry section in the docker-compose.yml file and is usually 8081Last modified 1yr ago
