attempting to do: first ASP.net POST route

error:

proposed approach: check the POST body ?

possible improvements:

[frankcollins3]

first approach changed data to body

data: { 
            pokename: "squirtle",
            pokeid: "6",
            type: "water"
        },

updated this code to include JSON.stringify():

internal 500 server error: [7:34am]

[frankcollins3]

tbh I still don't fully understand but some of that is becoming used to the ASP syntax:

    // POST: api/pokemon
    [HttpPost]
    public async Task<ActionResult<Pokemon>> AddPokemon([FromBody] Pokemon pokemon)
    {
        try
        {
            // Add the new Pokemon to the context
            _context.Pokemons.Add(pokemon);
            await _context.SaveChangesAsync();

            return CreatedAtAction(nameof(GetPokemon), new { id = pokemon.Id }, pokemon);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            _logger.LogError(ex, "An error occurred while adding a Pokemon.");
            return StatusCode(500, "A wild 500 error appears!");
        }
    }
