Backend
We will need a backend for our application, we can use json-server for this.
json-server is an npm package that provides a quick way to create fake APIs.
Start a new node project:
yarn init
Accept all the defaults.
Install json-server:
yarn add [email protected]
Make api.js in the root of the project:
var jsonServer = require('json-server')
// Returns an Express server
var server = jsonServer.create()
// Set default middlewares (logger, static, cors and no-cache)
server.use(jsonServer.defaults())
var router = jsonServer.router('db.json')
server.use(router)
console.log('Listening at 4000')
server.listen(4000)
Add db.json at the root:
{
"players": [
{ "id": "1", "name": "Sally", "level": 2 },
{ "id": "2", "name": "Lance", "level": 1 },
{ "id": "3", "name": "Aki", "level": 3 },
{ "id": "4", "name": "Maria", "level": 4 },
{ "id": "5", "name": "Julian", "level": 1 },
{ "id": "6", "name": "Jaime", "level": 1 }
]
}
Start the server by running:
node api.js
