mock-server

server link - https://important-hen-miniskirt.cyclic.app/

Prerequisite

• Create a folder

mkdir mock_server
cd mock_server

Step 1: Create a node js project

npm init -y or npm init

Step 2: Install json server dependency

npm install json-server

Step 3: Create index.js

const jsonServer = require('json-server')
const server = jsonServer.create()
const router = jsonServer.router('db.json')
const middlewares = jsonServer.defaults()
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 8080 (any port number you want to use)

server.use(middlewares)
server.use(router)
server.listen(PORT, () => {
  console.log(`listening on http://localhost:${PORT}`)
})

Step 4: Create db.json

{
  "posts": [
    { "id": 1, "title": "json-server", "author": "typicode" }
  ],
  "comments": [
    { "id": 1, "body": "some comment", "postId": 1 }
  ],
  "profile": { "name": "typicode" }
}

Step 5: make changes to the scripts object in package.json

"start": "node index.js",

Step 6: Run the Node JS Project

npm run start - it will start the server.

Step 7: Test - api-endpoints

http://localhost:8080/posts

Output:

[
    { "id": 1, "title": "json-server", "author": "typicode" }
]
