Ruby (Sinatra) and Backbone.js

Sinatra and POST Requests

• Discuss how we are reading raw data from the request.body
• request.body with backbone; params otherwise

# create
post '/api/cards' do
    request_body = JSON.parse(request.body.read.to_s)
    # must read the request_body keys as strings; symbols return null
    card_args = { title: request_body["title"], message: request_body["message"] }
    card = Card.create(card_args)
    card.to_json
end
