Json-server: Ignore params

[ianks]

Is it possible to ignore params?

[typicode]

Could you give me an example?

[burkaygur]

For example ignoring query params in a GET request, e.g.

/apps?sig=1723718230123&blah=1231231234

so when you are working with external clients that make calls, you may wanna ignore these query params?

[typicode]

Thanks for the example. If you use the project as a module, you can ignore params this way:

var jsonServer = require('json-server')

var server = jsonServer.create()

server.use(function (req, res, next) {
  delete req.query.sig
  delete req.query.blah
  next()
})

server.use(jsonServer.defaults)
server.use(jsonServer.router('db.json'))

server.listen(3000)

While this is an acceptable solution, it'd almost be nicer to have some sort of config.json file that allowed for quick configs like this.

[typicode]

I've updated code to automatically ignore query params for which there's no corresponding path in the collection.

For example:

# Before
GET /posts?author=typicode&foo=bar # []
# After
GET /posts?author=typicode&foo=bar # [{...}, {...}]

It's not yet released as I plan to tweak some other things before.

As for a config.json, I think it's a good idea. But the hard part is to distinguish between common or specific cases. So feedback in general is very helpful :)

Just released v0.8.0 with the "auto-ignore" feature.

Does the above solution work with custom routes? I've simple app below and its not working for me. I want to ignore query params in my request.

var jsonServer = require('json-server');
var server = jsonServer.create();
server.use(function (req, res, next) {
delete req.query.sig;
delete req.query.blah;
next();
})

var router = jsonServer.router('db.json');
var middlewares = jsonServer.defaults();
server.use(middlewares);
server.use(jsonServer.rewriter({
,"/app/getEmployees": "/employees"
}));
server.use(router);
server.listen(3000, function(){
console.log('server is running');
});

If I make a request like http://localhost:3000/app/getEmployees?sig=abc&blah=xyz it doesn't fetch the employees. It only works without query params like when I make request http://localhost:3000/app/getEmployees.

Boa tarde, existe algum link com as configurações que eu posso utilizar no config.json estou tentando utilizar o auto-ignore e não estou conseguindo

The auto-ignore isn't working for me either with custom routes, but if you only have a few params, you can anticipate them in your routes.

"/myRoute/entity/:id?param1=:param1&param2=:param2": "/newRoute/:id/"

~Note that it appears (18 Oct 2019) that the params must appear in the same order as they're listed in your custom route. Not ideal.~ Need to test more -- now if I only have one param in the route, they're all ignored, which isn't bad.

Not great, and I should get the module idea working, but an okay kludge.

I know that the thread is old, but nevertheless there is another way which works for me.
You can create custom route inside routes.json like this

{ "/apps\\?*": "/apps?" }

This will ignore all query parameters.
