I’m an amateur coming back to an old Ember hobby project. I used Sails Ember Blueprints to get a very quick and easy REST API up and running. I’m aware its pretty out of date…
I’m wondering if anyone can give me some updates on what would be a similarly super-easy temporary backend solution?
Cheers
Ember CLI Mirage would a good place to start if you’re wanting to the the frontend up and running quickly. It’s useful for testing and demos
The trend for API’s in Ember is to JSON API, for which there are a bunch of implementations. There is a lot going on though, so if you’re not in the mood for taking on more information, the backend from your old project should still be serviceable
Someone more familiar with the current state of Node.js backends should chime in
Not REST but super easy GitHub - pouchdb-community/ember-pouch: PouchDB/CouchDB adapter for Ember Data. It even works out of the box without a CouchDB backend. Example: GitHub - broerse/ember-cli-blog: Tom Dale's blog example updated for the Ember CLI
If you don’t use Ember Data and just trying out with simple ajax calls, just use json-server. it’s super easy to setup. Just configure your fake data structure, populate it with random data using Faker, and you’re done.
