Express JS Router: persisting data
I have some "router" modules being exported into my app.js from a people.js & auth.js file.
Both of these router modules (people.js & auth.js) are require()'ing an array of objects called people, which is being module.export'd out of data.js.
Each object inside this people array represents a person', each holding an 'id' and a 'name' property....
Not seeing app.post() network request reflected in Chrome Network tab
I have a simple axios.post() request to 'api/people'

Request URL: https://localhost:8080/api/people...
Understanding a tutorial: Using axios.get()
I'm following a tutorial that uses Express JS to create a server and integrates it with some 'static' resources (html, css, js).. showing how app.get(), app.post() work with a form etc (pic 1 & 2)
There are 2 'versions' of the form that the tutorial goes over. One of them, (the index.html), links the form to the server, in app.js, with a method = POST. (pic 3)

NodeJS app.js requiring a JSON file?
I know that if I had some JSON data in a .js file, that I could, at the end of that .js file, do a module.exports() of that JSON module's name, and then require it in my app.js, and use a res.json() on it. (pics 1-3)
But what if instead of having that JSON data in a js file, it was housed in its own .json file?
I couldn't do a module.exports() from inside a .json file. ...
Express JS install giving many venerabilities, incl 'critical'
I'm following a tutorial which is about to get into how to use Express JS for setting up a server, and I went to install Express and got back all kinds of venerabilities, including critical.
I don't have anything else installed except for 'nodemon' for auto-restarting the server upon save.
Does any one know why I'm getting all of these venerabilities?/If/How to address them?...
Vernacular: "API" vs "module"
I'm taking a NodeJS course right now, and it seems the instructor will refer to the "Event Emitter" API"
We'd previously created a custom event emitter with
const eventEmitter = require('events');...
