Json-server: Return object name in GET

[0plus1]

Given this object in the DB:

"posts": [ { "id": 1, "title": "json-server", "author": "typicode" } ]

Doing a get I receive:

[ { "id": 1, "title": "json-server", "author": "typicode" } ]

is there any way to receive something like:

"posts": [ { "id": 1, "title": "json-server", "author": "typicode" } ],"status:{"code":200,"result":"something"}

?

Thank you very much

I really would like to help you but I couldn't understand your use case, do you mean in each response you want to inject the status code, requested path .. etc? if so, you can yous custom middleware, I can help you in this, otherwise, please explain it more.

Edit

Ok, I'll assume that you want to change the shape of the returned data.

• you need to run json-server as module not from the command line

//server.js
var jsonServer = require('json-server')
var server = jsonServer.create()

var router = jsonServer.router('db.json')
//configure render method of the returned router

router.render = function (req, res) {
//do your logic here, let's say that you want to wrap the whole data in object with the key of the request query
  var resourceName = req.url.split('/')[1]; // to get the resource, /people, /posts/
  var method = req. originalMethod

  var JsonRes = {}
  JsonRes[resourceName] =  res.locals.data;
  JsonRes.status = {"code": , result:"something"};

  res.jsonp(JsonRes)
}

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

• then run node server.js

I had a working version, but yours is heaps better, especially with the resourceName being dynamic!

I've used @Nilegfx code to make the key singular when requesting single object as well
eg. /posts/1 gets {"post": { "id": 1, ... }}

const pluralize = require('pluralize')
router.render = function (req, res) {
  var path = req.url.replace(/\/$/, '')
  var resourceName = path.split('/')[1] // To get the resource, /people, /posts/
  var last = path.split('/').pop() // To check if the path is resourceName or ID
  var statusCode = res.statusCode

  var json = {}
  if (statusCode < 400) {
    var key = resourceName == last ? resourceName : pluralize.singular(resourceName)
    json[key] = res.locals.data
  }
  json.status = { code: statusCode }

  res.jsonp(json)
}
