how to use the review api:

NOTE for testing this I reccomend Insomnia : https://insomnia.rest/

use the url http://localhost:5000/api/v1/movies/review

to post a review send a post request with the json fomatted like so:

{
	"movie_id": "<mongoDB_movie_ID>",
	"text": "<the_review>",
	"user_id": "<your_user_ID>",
	"name": "<your_user_name>"
}

to update a review send a put request with the json fomatted like so:

NOTE: must be the name and user_id of the person who posted the review

{
	"review_id": "<mongoDB_movie_ID>",
	"text": "<the_review>",
	"user_id": "<your_user_ID>",
	"name": "<your_user_name>"
}

to delete a review send a delete request to the url:

NOTE: must be the name and user_id of the person who posted the review

http://localhost:5000/api/v1/movies/review?id=<mongoDB_review_id>

with the json fomatted like so:

{
	"user_id": "<your_user_ID>"
}

to recieve all reviews for a particular movie:

send a get request to: http://localhost:5000/api/v1/movies/id/<MongoDB_movie_id>

To update the tags of a movie

send a put request to:

http://localhost:5000/api/v1/movies/tags

with the json fomatted like so:

{
	"movie_id": "<mongoDB_movie_ID>",
	"tags": ["<tag_1>", "<tag_2>", "<tag_n>"]
}

Note this will only update the database with tags that are not already in the array.

Adding a new movie to the database

send a post request to:

http://localhost:5000/api/v1/movies/addMovie

{
	"title": "<your_title>",
	"plot": "<your_plot>",
