Get a full fake REST API with __zero coding__ in __less than 30 seconds__ (seriously)

## Usage
|
||||
## Example
|
||||
|
||||
### CLI
|
||||
|
||||
Create a `db.json` file:
|
||||
Create a `db.json` file
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
{
|
||||
"posts": [
|
||||
{ "id": 1, "body": "foo" }
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then run `json-server db.json` and go to `http://localhost:3000/posts/1`.
|
||||
|
||||
You should get `{ "id": 1, "body": "foo" }`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Module
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
var server = require('json-server');
|
||||
|

server({
|
||||
posts: [
|
||||
{ id: 1, body: 'foo' }
|
||||
]
|
||||
}).listen(3000);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
* Lets you use plain JSON or simple JS file
|
||||
* Supports __GET__ but also __POST__, __PUT__, __DELETE__ and even __PATCH__ requests
|
||||
* Can be used from anywhere through __cross domain__ requests (JSONP or CORS)
|
||||
* Can load remote JSON files ([JSON Generator](http://www.json-generator.com/), ...)
|
||||
* Can be deployed on Nodejitsu, Heroku, ...
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Input
|
||||
|
||||
Here's 2 examples showing how to format JSON or JS seed file:
|
||||
|
||||
__JSON__
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
{
|
||||
"posts": [
|
||||
{ "id": 1, "body": "foo" },
|
||||
{ "id": 2, "body": "bar" }
|
||||
{ "id": 1, "title": "json-server", "author": "typicode" }
|
||||
],
|
||||
"comments": [
|
||||
{ "id": 1, "body": "baz", "postId": 1 },
|
||||
{ "id": 2, "body": "qux", "postId": 2 }
|
||||
{ "id": 1, "body": "some comment", "postId": 1 }
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
__JS__
|
||||
Start JSON Server
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ json-server db.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now if you go to [http://localhost:3000/posts/1](), you will get:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
module.exports = function() {
|
||||
var data = {};
|
||||
|
||||
data.posts = [];
|
||||
data.posts.push({ id: 1, body: 'foo' });
|
||||
//...
|
||||
|
||||
return data;
|
||||
{
|
||||
"id": 1,
|
||||
"body": "foo"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
JSON Server expects JS files to export a function that returns an object.
|
||||
## Routes
|
||||
|
||||
JS files are useful if you need to programmaticaly create a lot of data.
|
||||
|
||||
## Available routes
|
||||
|
||||
Let's say we have `posts`, here's the routes you can use.
|
||||
In fact, you instantly get all these routes:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
GET /posts
|
||||
GET /posts?title=jsonserver&author=typicode
|
||||
GET /posts?title=json-server&author=typicode
|
||||
GET /posts/1/comments
|
||||
GET /posts/1
|
||||
POST /posts
|
||||
@ -149,13 +77,73 @@ Returns database.
|
||||
GET /db
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Returns default index file or content of `./public/index.html` (useful if you need to set a custom home page).
|
||||
Returns default index file or serves `./public` directory.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
GET /
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For more routes usage examples, have a look at [JSONPlaceholder](https://github.com/typicode/jsonplaceholder)'s README.
|
||||
## Install
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ npm install -g json-server
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Extras
|
||||
|
||||
### Static file server
|
||||
|
||||
You can use JSON Server to serve your HTML, JS and CSS, simply create a `./public` directory.
|
||||
|
||||
### Access from anywhere
|
||||
|
||||
You can access your fake API from anywhere using CORS and JSONP.
|
||||
|
||||
### Remote schema
|
||||
|
||||
You can load remote schemas:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ json-server http://example.com/file.json
|
||||
$ json-server http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/db
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### JS file support
|
||||
|
||||
You can use JS to programmatically create data:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
module.exports = function() {
|
||||
data = { users: [] }
|
||||
// Create 1000 users
|
||||
for (var i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
|
||||
data.users.push({ name: 'user' + i })
|
||||
}
|
||||
return data
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ json-server index.js
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Module
|
||||
|
||||
You can use JSON Server as a module:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
var server = require('json-server')
|
||||
|
||||
server({
|
||||
posts: [
|
||||
{ id: 1, body: 'foo' }
|
||||
]
|
||||
}).listen(3000)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Deployment
|
||||
|
||||
You can deploy JSON Server. For example, [JSONPlaceholder](http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com) is an online fake API powered by JSON Server and running on Heroku.
