As a frontend developer, have you ever found yourself in a situation where the backend didnโ€™t have a RESTful API that you could call to test out your user interface? Have you ever wanted to prototype an idea and found yourself getting down in the weeds setting up RESTful routes in a mock backend server?

Thatโ€™s where json-server comes to the rescue!

With json-server, you simply create a JSON file that follows json-serverโ€™s conventions, and you can have a mock RESTful server up in no time. This blog post will go over the features of json-server that I have found most useful as a frontend developer.

Weโ€™ve all seen and read the React tutorials. We know about classes and components and JSX and whatnot, but then there comes the time when you have to start doing things for real. โ€œRealโ€ you say? Yes. Like connecting to a database or navigating around something larger than โ€œHello World.โ€ Oh, then there’s that dreaded state thing. Well, letโ€™s have a quick talk about the โ€œExtrasโ€ that we can add into a React application.

In this blog, we will address adding routing using the React Router, adding data access using the JavaScript Fetch API, and creating a global state management feature using Reactโ€™s built-in Context API.
