developerrsquared/json-server repository overview

⁠JSON Server

JSON Server⁠ provides REST API mocking based on plain JSON.

⁠Run with Docker

You can run the container like this (from the root of this repository):

docker run --publish 8000:8000 --volume $(pwd)/json-server/data:/app/data developerrsquared/json-server

This exposes JSON Server REST API on port 8000, so you can now browse to:

http://localhost:8000

• --publish {outside_port}:8000 will bind the webserver to the given outside port
• --volume {absolute_path_to_directory}:/app/data should be passed to mount the given JSON file into the container
• developerrsquared/json-server the name of this docker image

docker run developerrsquared/json-server --help
