ActionController::ParameterMissing (param is missing or the value is empty: name)-CodePudding

For some reason I can't get a POST or UPDATE to successfully work via Postman. The error I get is as follows:

    Started POST "/names" for ::1 at 2022-10-19 16:26:48 -0500
Processing by NamesController#create as */*
  Parameters: {"_json"=>[{"name"=>"Joseph Schmoseph"}], "name"=>{}}
Completed 400 Bad Request in 0ms (ActiveRecord: 1.2ms | Allocations: 255)


  
ActionController::ParameterMissing (param is missing or the value is empty: name):
  
app/controllers/names_controller.rb:57:in `names_params'
app/controllers/names_controller.rb:19:in `create'

Here is my names_controller with all routes:

class NamesController < ApplicationController
  before_action :set_name, only: [:show, :update, :destroy]

  # GET /names
  def index
    @names = Name.all

    render json: @names
  end

  # GET /names/1
  def show
    render json: @name
  end

  # POST /names
  def create
    @name = Name.new(name_params)

    if @name.save
      render json: @name, status: :created, location: @name
    else
      render json: @name.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity
    end
  end

  # PATCH/PUT /names/1
  def update
    if @name.update(name_params)
      render json: @name
    else
      render json: @name.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity
    end
  end

  # DELETE /names/1
  def destroy
    @name.destroy
  end

  private
    # Use callbacks to share common setup or constraints between actions.
    def set_name
      @name = Name.find(params[:id])
    end

    # Only allow a list of trusted parameters through.
    def name_params
      params.require(:name).permit(:name)
    end
end

All other routes are working fine execpt the UPDATE and CREATE. I'm using Postgresql as my db. I've never had this issue before with simple db routes so I'm a bit stumped. Any help would be highly appreciated!

In postman

change

  {
    name: "Joseph Schmoseph"
  }

 {
   name: {
      name: "Joseph Schmoseph"
   }
 }

In names_controller.rb

 // Parameters: {"name"=>{"name"=>"Joseph Schmoseph"}, "commit"=>"Create"} 
  
 // fixed this issue: ActionController::ParameterMissing (param is missing or the value is empty: name):
  
  def create 
    ....
  end
