can't watch multiple files with json-server

Question

I've read about Fake json-server and I'd like to watch more than 1 file. In the instructions it is listed

--watch, -w
Watch file(s)

but I'm not able to make it working if I launch it as

json-server -w one.json two.json more.json

Answer 1

create files as shown below

db.js

var firstRoute  = require('./jsonfile1.json');
var secondRoute = require('./jsonfile2.json');
var thirdRoute  = require('./jsonfile3.json');
var fourthRoute = require('./jsonfile4.json');
// and so on

module.exports = function() {
return {
firstRoute  : firstRoute,
secondRoute : secondRoute,
thirdRoute  : thirdRoute,
fourthRoute : fourthRoute
// and so on
 }
}

server.js

var jsonServer  = require('json-server')
var server      = jsonServer.create()
var router      = jsonServer.router(require('./db.js')())
var middlewares = jsonServer.defaults()

server.use(middlewares)
server.use(router)
server.listen(3000, function () {
console.log('JSON Server is running')
})

Now go to the directory where you have created both these files and open command line and run the code below

node server.js

That's it now go to the browser and go to localhost:3000 ,You shall see the routes that created for different files,you may use it directly.

Answer 2

You can open multipe port for differents json files with json-server.In my case I open multiples cmd windows and launch it as.

json-server --watch one.json -p 4000

json-server --watch two.json -p 5000

json-server --watch more.json -p 6000

One for cmd window, this work for me.
