Cannot POST #7

I followed your tutorial on YouTube and I had no problem with the GET request but I haven't been able to POST to it with PostMan.

So I did a git clone of this repo just to make sure all the code is exactly the same as yours and I still have the same problem.

Console says...

With all the modules installed with the latest version console says....

Mongoose: mpromise (mongoose's default promise library) is deprecated, plug in your own promise library instead: http://mongoosejs.com/docs/promises.html

just write promise before connecting mongoose in server.js

//MongoDB mongoose.Promise = global.Promise; mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/rest_test');
