JSON Files

You can store data in JSON files using Remult. Here's how to configure your server:

Step 1: Configure the dataProvider

In your index.ts (or server file), configure the dataProvider to use JSON files as the storage mechanism:

// index.ts

import express from "express"
import { remultExpress } from "remult/remult-express"
import { JsonDataProvider } from "remult"
import { JsonEntityFileStorage } from "remult/server"

const app = express()

app.use(
  remultExpress({
    dataProvider: async () =>
      new JsonDataProvider(new JsonEntityFileStorage("./db")) // Data will be stored in the 'db' folder
  })
)

Explanation:

• JsonDataProvider: This is the data provider that will store your data in JSON format.
• JsonEntityFileStorage: Specifies the directory where the JSON files will be stored (in this case, ./db).
• "./db": The path where JSON files for entities will be created. Ensure the folder exists or it will be created automatically.

This configuration allows you to store and manage your application data in JSON files, ideal for small projects or quick setups.
