JSON-server is unable to serve multiple files at once. | |
(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36836424/cant-watch-multiple-files-with-json-server) | |
This is a quick script for making a joint db.json file. | |
Directory structure: | |
db/ | |
├─ chunks/ | |
│ ├─ example1.json | |
│ ├─ example2.json | |
├─ db.json | |
├─ util.js | |
The names of the chunk files will constitute as keys in the joint database. | |
Example chunk .json file structure: | |
example.json | |
{ | |
"data": [ | |
{ | |
"key": "field" | |
} | |
] | |
} | |
To run: node .\db\util.js | |
To run server: json-server --watch --no-cors db.json | |

const dbs = './db/chunks'; | |
const fs = require('fs'); | |
const jsons = fs.readdirSync(dbs).filter((filename) => filename.includes('.json')); | |
fs.writeFileSync('./db/db.json', ''); | |
let db = {}; | |
for (const json of jsons) { | |
const data = fs.readFileSync(`./db/chunks/${json}`, 'utf8'); | |
db[json.slice(0, -5)] = JSON.parse(data)['data']; | |
} | |
fs.appendFileSync('./db/db.json', JSON.stringify(db, null, '\t')); |
