When we created the Category
model, we specified the True
value for the unique argument when we created the db.Column
instance named name
. As a result, the migrations generated the necessary unique constraint to make sure that the name
field has unique values in the category
table. This way, the database won't allow us to insert duplicate values for category.name
. However, the error message generated when we try to do so is not clear.
Run the following command to create a category with a duplicate name. There is already an existing category with the name equal to 'Information'
:
http POST :5000/api/categories/ name='Information'
The following is the equivalent curl
command:
curl -iX POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name":"Information"}'
:5000/api/categories/
The previous command will compose and send a POST
HTTP request with the specified JSON key-value pair. The unique constraint in the category.name
field won't allow the database...
