Default db.json

{
  "posts": [
    { "id": 1, "title": "json-server", "author": "typicode" }
  ],
  "comments": [
    { "id": 1, "body": "some comment", "postId": 1 }
  ],
  "profile": { "name": "typicode" }
}

Enable write operations

By default, only GET operation is allowed, thanks to the contribution by @VicAv99 at #6, we can now enable write operations as well.

You can find the example code in api/server.js.
