Our application is now pretty much feature complete but there's one last big feature that I want to
add in at present.
Anytime someone uses our application and say ads in a new blog posts like so if they then restart the
application as I'll do right now that new blog post just disappears so I want to figure out some way
that we can somehow persist the state inside of our app.
There's a couple of different ways we could handle this.
We could either try to save our list a blog post to our physical device and then read that list of blog
posts anytime our application starts up but another way we could handle this in probably a way that's
gonna be a little bit more useful is to instead store our list of posts on some outside API server.
So anytime someone creates a blog post we're going to make a network request to this outside server
and try to store a new blog post over there.
And we'll also have the ability to fetch a list of all of our different blog posts and maybe edit and
delete them as well.
Right now on this outside server we're not gonna worry about having any concept of user accounts or
anything like that.
We're gonna eventually figure out how to deal with user accounts inside this of course but for right
now we're just gonna have this outside server store our list of posts and be able to do some basic interaction
with it.
Let's first begin by understanding how we're going to create the server to create that server.
We're going to be making use of a package called simply Jason server.
This is a little package that's used to stand up a server that's so service.
Excuse me.
Jason data.
It's really only good for development purposes and is not quite appropriate for production.
But again we're just trying to figure out what's going on here.
So we're going to use Jason server to get started.
I'm going to navigate to the documentation for Jason server.
Here it is right here.
If you want to you can take a look at the documentation.
But as usual I'll tell you everything you need to know.
Just so you know this Jason server is actually the same thing that is used on that Jason Place holder
API that we used in one of our previous applications.
So it's going to essentially be a very similar experience.
All right.
Let's take a quick pause right here when we come back the next video.
We're going to start to setup Jason server and then start to use it from our project.
