Exercises: POST Requests - Rest APIs In Depth

Let's go through some exercises to get some practice with POST Requests for Web APIs together, using Deno. We start with a warmup to look at Request method types and send back an appropriate Response. In the first exercise we look at the main POST flow of creating a new resource using a JSON body and then adding it to our file on the backend in Deno. Then, in exercise 2 we take what we learned in exercise 1 and add data validation to see how we can check for things like required fields and types in the Request body. In the third exercise, we look at Multipart Forms and how they differ from the JSON body type we've seen so far. We use it to create a resource on the server, similar to exercise 1. To wrap up the video we go through a Bonus exercise where we expand what we learned about Multipart Forms to add a binary body to our request and do things like upload images and other binary data to our server to save.
