AWS, JavaScript, React - Deploy Web Apps on the Cloud - Introduction to JSON Server

The video tutorial guides viewers through setting up a project using Create React App and integrating a JSON server. It covers creating a basic JSON file to act as a mock database with categories and products. The tutorial demonstrates how to run the JSON server on a different port to avoid conflicts with the React app and how to test the server by querying data using endpoints. The JSON server is shown to be a useful tool for quick projects, providing a simple way to simulate a REST API.

What is the purpose of creating a basic JSON file in the project setup?

• To define the user interface layout

• To manage user authentication

• To act as a database for the mock REST API server

• To store configuration settings

Why is it necessary to run the JSON server on a different port than the React app?

• To improve performance

• To enhance security

• To avoid data corruption

• To prevent a port conflict

Which command is used to start the JSON server and watch the database file?

• json-server --watch

• npm start

• node server.js

• react-scripts start

How can you retrieve all records from the 'categories' table using the JSON server?

• By accessing /categories endpoint

• By querying with ID equals one

• By sending a POST request

• By using the /all endpoint

What is the correct way to query a single record by ID from the 'products' table?

• Use /products?id=1

• Access /products/1

• Query /products with ID parameter

• Send a DELETE request to /products
