How to deploy a website with JSON Server and React
I have a react page which utilises JSON Server. This decision was made due to the client's request and we cannot change the method. I am trying to keep it only as a frontend project and trying to not include backend material. I tried to import JSON Server in an express file. But it brings up an error of module not found. I looked deep into the error and found that it is ES6 issue but i cant fix it . Then i tried using concurently which runs both npm run start and npm run server but also dosen't do anything.

Not sure why a client would pick this, it's just for mock data. Why not just import the json file and brrrrrre
Beta and for mock data 🤔
