Fake JSON API With Searching Using JSON Server

• In my previous post we have learnt creating Fake JSON API for Sorting and Paging using JSON-SERVER node package module for rapid application development.
• In this demo, “We will learn to use searching with JSON-SERVER NPM module”.
• The data.json file contains the student record for create a Fake API.The content of data.json file is as follows.

{
  "students": [
    {
      "id": 123,
      "name": "Sandeep",
      "subject": "Computer",
      "marks": 23
    },
    {
      "id": 193,
      "name": "Raja",
      "subject": "Mathematics",
      "marks": 25
    },
    {
      "id": 223,
      "name": "Smith",
      "subject": "Geography",
      "marks": 20
    },
    {
      "id": 313,
      "name": "Sandeep",
      "subject": "History",
      "marks": 21
    }
  ]
}

• The fake JSON-SERVER API is running on port 3000 and can be accessed through HTTP call.The following screenshot.

• Now if we want to search for a string we need use a query parameter q with the search string.Let’s search for a string sa then the query parameter will be q=sa can be appended to the URL.The following screenshot shows the result of JSON API for search string sa.

• The log message by JSON server is as follows.
