I created a post request (localhost:4000/api/students/)

Headers:
‘Accept: application/vnd.api+json’
‘Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json’

Body:

{
  "data": {
    "type": "student",
    "attributes": {
      "first_name": "some name",
      "last_name": "last name"
    }
  }
}

I got an error InvalidBody

{
    "errors": [
        {
            "code": "invalid_body",
            "id": "a174c29e-5ffe-4cf4-b4a4-97a67f6e65aa",

            },
            "detail": "Expected only defined properties, got key [\"data\", \"attributes\", \"last_name\"]."
        },
        {

Two things:

First, The reason for this specific error is that the first and last name are not accepted by the actions. You probably want:


create :create do
  accept [:first_name, :last_name]
end

update :update do
  accept [:first_name, :last_name]
end

second, you likely want to make the first and last name attributes public? so that they display in the API.

Thanks, @zachdaniel @kamaroly, It works good.

The following should also work.

  actions do
    # ========Add this line============
    default_accept  [:first_name, :last_name]
  end
