@gsequeira do you have an `InfoResponse` struct yet in your code? If you are on the first part and you returning a string it would look like: ```swift router.post(InfoData.self, at: "info") { req, data -> String in return "Hello \(data.name)!" } ``` ---

This has been helpful, maybe Ray Wenderlich team could implement annotations that point to these comments in cases like these ? ---

What errors are you getting? I’m currrntly re-recording the videos so updated ones should be available in the new year! Also check out [GitHub - raywenderlich/vapor-til: The TIL Application for the Vapor book](https://github.com/raywenderlich/vapor-til) which is from the book, but builds on everything from the videos. Should help point you in the right direction ---

For example, I havent been able to implement the updateHandler method as described in vapor-til repo from git hub. But I implemented it the followign way that returns the Acronym that is updated instead of HTTPStatus. I couldnt get the flapMap to return HTTP Status. func updateHandler(\_ req: Request) throws → Future { return try flatMap(to: Acronym.self, req.parameters.next(Acronym.self), req.content.decode(Acronym.self)) { acronym, updateData in acronym.short = updateData.short acronym.long = updateData.long return acronym.save(on: req) } } Now I m stuck in searchHandler. The code given in the repo complains “Type of expression is ambiguous without more context” build error for the query method with filter. I am struggling to fix that. ---

So if you’re returning `HTTPStatus` you’d need to do something like: ```swift func updateHandler(_ req: Request) throws -> Future { return try flatMap(to: HTTPStatus.self, req.parameters.next(Acronym.self), req.content.decode(Acronym.self)) { acronym, updateData in acronym.short = updateData.short acronym.long = updateData.long return acronym.save(on: req).transform(to: .ok) } } ``` For the search handler, have you imported Fluent? ---

Thanks, the import was the issue for search Handler. However I am now stuck in MySQL when the FLuentMySQL is giving build errors. Can you please let me now if I am missing any configuration? I have set the -DNOJSON as instructed in some other thread in stack overflow but no luck /FluentMySQL/MySQLType.swift:3:30: Use of undeclared type ‘MySQLDataTypeStaticRepresentable’ ---
