main.go

func createEvent(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	var newEvent event
	reqBody, err := ioutil.ReadAll(r.Body)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Fprintf(w, "Kindly enter data with the event title and description only in order to update")
	}
	
	json.Unmarshal(reqBody, &newEvent)
	events = append(events, newEvent)
	w.WriteHeader(http.StatusCreated)

	json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(newEvent)
