Getting content type error

[thexeromin]

Getting content type error in response when saving something in mongodb.

#[post("/")]
async fn add_link(client: web::Data<Client>, form: web::Form<Links>) -> impl Responder {
    let collection: Collection<Links> =
        client.database(DB_NAME).collection(COL_NAME);

    let new_doc = Links {
        id: None,
        ..form.into_inner()
    };

    let result = collection.insert_one(new_doc, None).await;

    match result {
        Ok(v) => {
            println!("{:#?}", v);
            HttpResponse::Ok().body("Link added")
        }
        Err(err) => HttpResponse::InternalServerError().body(err.to_string())
    }
}

Can you include the error in the quesion, please?

When I am sending request to this route it's just showing response Content type error

[robjtede]

Using form: web::Form<Links> means the request needs to be of type application/x-www-form-urlencoded like that from a basic HTML form.

See docs: https://docs.rs/actix-web/latest/actix_web/web/struct.Form.html#extractor
