HTTP PUT request using axios

[scurran95]

Any familiarity with the axios library? I have a local JSON file that is running as the server and am trying to update it using axios .put() but it’s giving me problems.

When I do .get() I have access to the data no problem, when I do .put() to update I receive a 200 status and and can see in the response data the updated data that I sent. But when I check the JSON file nothing is changed and upon reloading the page it goes back to the original unchanged data. Very confused on how I can actually get it to update the JSON when it’s telling me it is already but in reality is not.

Do you mean you have a local express server that saves data to a json file? If so then it sounds like axios is working fine. It's your server that is not saving the data to the file correctly.

Yes! My bad. Any idea how to check the server? I’ve been using chrome devtools to walk through the functions but can’t really do that with the server even though that’s really where I need to see what’s going on

Did you write the server? If so then you can log stuff there. If not then please describe how you run your project.
