https://jb-todo-api.herokuapp.com/v1/tasks

{
  "done":false,
  "_id":"5bfe89bf4d5f760016e4723a",
  "task":"Test API through UI",
  "who":"juanbalceda",
  "dueDate":"2018-11-29T00:00:00.000Z",
  "created":"2018-11-28T12:27:43.938Z",
  "__v":0
}

For POST method, the only required field on the json body is task, who and created are set by default, dueDate is optional.

{
  "done":false,
  "task":"Test API through UI",
  "who":"juanbalceda",
  "dueDate":"2018-11-29T00:00:00.000Z",
  "created":"2018-11-28T12:27:43.938Z"
}
