Not able to set database id?

[hernebrink]

I'm not sure if this is a feature request or an issue...

I've been trying to figure out how to set the database id, which you can do in an npm script like this:

"scripts": {
    "differentId": "json-server db.json --id name"
  }

The only thing I could think of was to pass the following options in server.js:

const router = jsonServer.router('db.json', { foreignKeySuffix: 'name' });

But that did not do the trick.

Is there a way to do this?

Maybe this?

Thanks, Jesper! That was exactly what I was trying to achieve! :)

Was able to set the router._id field directly:

const jsonServer = require('json-server');
const server = jsonServer.create();
const router = jsonServer.router('db.json');
router.db._.id = "name";

const middlewares = jsonServer.defaults();
const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
