Lesson 63 JSON Server and XSS and VSC installation version issues

[daUhradone]

Great stuff you do here!

I'm running VSC 1.85.1 on a Linux Mint machine Jan. 2024

Installing json-server with
npm install json-server
gives me some issues and hints from the bash.

Trying anyway to access it with:

json-server -v

gives me "command not found" but json-server is inside the node_modules

If I follow the hints from the bash:

"@vue/cli-service": "~5.0.0"

get's downgraded to 3.x

but then I have XSS issues trying to update the db.json file and the browser blocks the attempt.

The version that is automatically loaded according to package.json is:

"json-server": "^1.0.0-alpha.22"

A solution that I found online is to use

npx json-server --watch data/db.json

But then updating db.json is shaky and not reliable, plus adding a new project gives me the id "a8f7" instead of id: "3"

It looks like json-server with vue.cli has some version issues
