Node JS Postman

Node
1

Good morning,

I am going through the Node JS course and am in the Mongoose- Modeling Relationships between Connected Data transactions section. I am stuck trying to post this using postman. He shows you the code he has written and just skips the postman post request. I have checked my code and have even just downloaded his code attachment and used that, but I am still getting a SyntaxError: Unexpected token . in JSON at position 69 error.

I have tried a handful of different ways to put this post into postman, but still nothing. Is anyone able to help with this??`
Here is the movie route schema```````````````

const Movie = mongoose.model(
  "Movies",
  new mongoose.Schema({
    title: {
      type: String,
      required: true,
      trim: true,
      minlength: 5,
      maxlength: 255,
    },
    genre: {
      type: genreSchema,
      required: true,
    },
    numberInStock: {
      type: Number,
      required: true,
      min: 0,
      max: 255,
    },
    dailyRentalRate: {
      type: Number,
      required: true,
      min: 0,
      max: 255,
    },
  })
);
`
Here is the syntax I am using on Postman

```
{
    "title": "Terminator",
    "genre": {
        "_id": genre."60e41928f29e1e25a89da921",
        "name":genre."action"
    },
    "numberInStock": "8",
    "dailyRentalRate": "1",

}
```
I have used a variety of different ways to see if that would work, but I am still unable to get anything besides the unexpected token. I have tried with or without that genre path, but still nothing.

It isn’t valid JSON, but I don’t know if that’s what’s generating the error.

You could try valid JSON

{
    "title": "Terminator",
    "genre": {
        "_id": "60e41928f29e1e25a89da921",
        "name": "action"
    },
    "numberInStock": 8,
    "dailyRentalRate": 1
}

or even an empty JSON object

{}

and see if you get different results.
