Requirements
Your system must have the following applications
- Node JS (To run npm scripts)
- Postman (to test API URLs)
- Dummy Json Server (to get fake JSON data)
Download and Install free Postman software to test the API.
First, you need a dummy API to test and learn.
Run the following code in the command prompt to install the JSON server
$ npm install -g json-server
Create a project folder. Inside the folder, create a file named “db.json” and paste the following code and save the file.
{
"employees": [
{
"id": 1,
"first_name": "Raj",
"last_name": "kumar",
"email": "[email protected]"
},
{
"id": 2,
"first_name": "Ram",
"last_name": "Saran",
"email": "[email protected]"
},
{
"id": 3,
"first_name": "Ventha",
"last_name": "Kumar",
"email": "[email protected]"
}
]
}
Open That folder in terminal and run the following code.
$ json-server --watch db.json
You will get the localhost path like this
Resources
http://localhost:3000/employees
Home
http://localhost:3000
