# get this funciton to create a curl command that takes in 3 parameters,
# the HTTP REQUEST TYPE, the site to be curled, and the JSON data to be passed.Simple JSON POST request:

#curl -X POST http://host:3000/maria_database -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"task": "DONE IN CURL"}'

#Simple JSON DELETE request:
#curl -X DELETE http://host:3000/maria_database -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"deletedItem": "DONE IN CURL"}'

#Simple JSON PUT request:
#curl -X PUT http://host:3000/maria_database -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"updated": "WE DID THIS IN CURL AGAIN", "previous": "DONE IN CURL"}'

#echo "$1"
#echo "$2"
#echo "$3"

http_req=${1^^}
port="http://localhost:${2}"
#json=" '{\"${3}\": [\"${4}"\""]}'"

#echo \'{\"${3}\": [\"${4}\"]}\'
#echo $http_req
#echo $json
#echo $port
#echo "$2"
#echo "$3"
#echo "$4"

#curl -X "{$http_req}" "{$site}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{$json}"

#curl -X " {$http_req} " "{$port}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "$3"

#curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/maria_database -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"listArray": ["do it forever"]}'
# Only one that works currently:

#curl -X "$http_req" "$port" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"listArray": ["do it again forever"]}'
if [[ $http_req = "GET" ]]; then
    curl "$http_req" "$2"
else
    curl -X "$http_req" "$port" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "$3"
fi

#curl -X "$1" "$2" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "$3"

#### FEATURES I'D LIKE TO IMPLEMENT ####

# format JSON to be human readable upon output (possibly using prettier)

# perhaps create a second program for non localhost related curl commands that still use JSON ( will require another variable, which as is made apparent above, is difficult for you to work with at your current skill level with bash programming)
