Update json file

[courgette]

Hi,

(sorry for my english)
I have a gulp task to serve my json file into my folder /datas/data.json and when i start gulp and add some datas, all work well. I stopped my gulp task, open /datas/data.json and all datas added are gone. There is an option to save my data into my static file ?

Thanks you

There is no option to do that now, gulp-json-srv creates in-memory db when reads files from gulp pipeline. As a workaround for this you can use router object of json-server to access whole DB object. F.e. like this:

var jsonServer = require("gulp-json-srv");
var server = jsonServer.create();

var dbObj = server.router.db.getState(); // <-- this will give you whole DB at the moment

I understand now that this is the use case that I missed, and saving data back to file is good, I think it's candidate for feature request.

Created #19 for feature request.

@courgette Also notice that for example above server.router will ba available after server started (i.e. first file went though pipeline).

Ok thank you.

The watch task work only on the static file right ? not in datas into the application.

@courgette I'm afraid I don't understood your question right, but anyway, watch task will be watching any file you'll set it to watch and reload server accordingly:) See samples.md for examples of watch task, and reloading server from object, not file.
