I am using nodejs and I have a json file named as
users.json
now I have a endpoint that will insert the json data to the file, now I want to insert the new json data.
for example:
when first time I call the endpoint:
http://localhost:3000/users
{
"user":"john"
}
file should be like this:
[{"user":"john"}]
and when I again call the endpoint like this:
http://localhost:3000/users
{
"user":"chris"
}
It should add this new data like this:
[{"user":"john"},{"user":"chris"}]
what I have tried:
app.post('/users',(req, res) => {
let data = req.body
var jsonData = JSON.stringify(data)
fs.readFile('users.json', 'utf8',function(err, data) {
let usersJsonData = JSON.parse(data)
usersJsonData.push(jsonData)
fs.writeFile("users.json", JSON.stringify(usersJsonData), (err, result)=> {
if(err){
console.log('error', err)
} else{
res.send({
"sucess" : true
})
};
})
// console.log("data", JSON.parse(data))
})
})
but problem with this method is it inserting data like this:
["{\"user\":\"wick\"}","{\"user\":\"john\"}"]
and I want like this:
[{"user":"john"},{"user":"chris"}]
