json-server not showing URL for JSON data


I am working with json-server. I have installed it with npm install -g json-server and am watching using

json-server --watch db.json

I have added db.json file in app folder with below data

{
    "product": [
      {
        "userId": 1,
        "firstName": "Krish",
        "lastName": "Lee",
        "phoneNumber": "123456",
        "emailAddress": "krish.lee@learningcontainer.com"
      },
      {
        "userId": 5,
        "firstName": "jone",
        "lastName": "mac",
        "phoneNumber": "111111111",
        "emailAddress": "jone.mac@learningcontainer.com"
      }
    ]
  }

but only http://localhost:3000/ is working. It shows

Solution

  • The first time you try to run json-server@0, if it can't find the supplied source, load.js writes out the default example for you:

    
    > json-server --watch db.json
    
    
      \{^_^}/ hi!
    
      Loading db.json
      Oops, db.json doesn't seem to exist
      Creating db.json with some default data
    
      Done
    
      Resources
      http://localhost:3000/posts
      http://localhost:3000/comments
      http://localhost:3000/profile
    
      Home
      http://localhost:3000
    

    On subsequent runs, because the file now exists, the server seems to be starting up just fine but isn't using the db.json file you think it is. For that reason, this seems like a bit of a misfeature.

    I opened a PR to require this behaviour to be explicitly requested; based on the prerelease -alpha versions it looks like this automatic creation won't be a feature of json-server@1.
