Possible to write to files?

[zeke]

When I saw in the readme that PUT and POST requests are supported, I expected that to mean the underlying JSON files can be written to via HTTP. Is that the case?

If not, wouldn't that be cool?!

Hi Zeke,

It's the case (or else it's a bug).
When you provide a JSON file, changes are persisted to it:

$ json-server file.json # will write

But in other cases, it won't

$ json-server file.js # won't write
$ json-server http://somewhere.com/file.json # won't write

You can always type s when JSON Server is running in terminal to save current database state.
