1
00:00:01,100 --> 00:00:05,090
Our application is now pretty much feature complete but there's one last big feature that I want to

2
00:00:05,090 --> 00:00:06,620
add in at present.

3
00:00:06,620 --> 00:00:12,770
Anytime someone uses our application and say ads in a new blog posts like so if they then restart the

4
00:00:12,770 --> 00:00:18,810
application as I'll do right now that new blog post just disappears so I want to figure out some way

5
00:00:18,810 --> 00:00:22,270
that we can somehow persist the state inside of our app.

6
00:00:22,290 --> 00:00:24,400
There's a couple of different ways we could handle this.

7
00:00:24,420 --> 00:00:29,520
We could either try to save our list a blog post to our physical device and then read that list of blog

8
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:35,230
posts anytime our application starts up but another way we could handle this in probably a way that's

9
00:00:35,230 --> 00:00:41,630
gonna be a little bit more useful is to instead store our list of posts on some outside API server.

10
00:00:41,630 --> 00:00:46,970
So anytime someone creates a blog post we're going to make a network request to this outside server

11
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,820
and try to store a new blog post over there.

12
00:00:50,580 --> 00:00:55,730
And we'll also have the ability to fetch a list of all of our different blog posts and maybe edit and

13
00:00:55,730 --> 00:00:57,360
delete them as well.

14
00:00:57,530 --> 00:01:02,360
Right now on this outside server we're not gonna worry about having any concept of user accounts or

15
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:03,680
anything like that.

16
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,700
We're gonna eventually figure out how to deal with user accounts inside this of course but for right

17
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:12,590
now we're just gonna have this outside server store our list of posts and be able to do some basic interaction

18
00:01:12,590 --> 00:01:13,890
with it.

19
00:01:13,970 --> 00:01:18,020
Let's first begin by understanding how we're going to create the server to create that server.

20
00:01:18,020 --> 00:01:22,560
We're going to be making use of a package called simply Jason server.

21
00:01:22,630 --> 00:01:27,000
This is a little package that's used to stand up a server that's so service.

22
00:01:27,010 --> 00:01:27,620
Excuse me.

23
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:28,930
Jason data.

24
00:01:28,930 --> 00:01:33,210
It's really only good for development purposes and is not quite appropriate for production.

25
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,520
But again we're just trying to figure out what's going on here.

26
00:01:35,530 --> 00:01:38,150
So we're going to use Jason server to get started.

27
00:01:38,150 --> 00:01:41,170
I'm going to navigate to the documentation for Jason server.

28
00:01:41,290 --> 00:01:42,550
Here it is right here.

29
00:01:43,630 --> 00:01:45,790
If you want to you can take a look at the documentation.

30
00:01:45,850 --> 00:01:48,470
But as usual I'll tell you everything you need to know.

31
00:01:48,730 --> 00:01:53,620
Just so you know this Jason server is actually the same thing that is used on that Jason Place holder

32
00:01:53,650 --> 00:01:57,020
API that we used in one of our previous applications.

33
00:01:57,100 --> 00:02:00,840
So it's going to essentially be a very similar experience.

34
00:02:00,850 --> 00:02:01,110
All right.

35
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,540
Let's take a quick pause right here when we come back the next video.

36
00:02:03,610 --> 00:02:08,080
We're going to start to setup Jason server and then start to use it from our project.
