As a demo, I copied routing-Contentful repository setup and removed contentful dependency (except at the stage where I saved my object). To be able to save my data (that I want to make available on local port), I had to work on nodejs (outside the react environment). I prepared tryinToFetch.js file and run it on the terminal and saved my json file as continent.json

Set up the local server in index.js file. To be able to do that, I needed to do the following:

1. I included the line "type": "module" within the package.json file-- this is to follow the current trend (eg. using import instead of require)
2. in the same file, within "scripts" section, I added "start" : "node index.js"
3. I installed express by running npm install express nodemon
4. to be able to use nodemon, I included a line "source" : "nodemon index.js" /This will allow me to activate the server API by running npm run source or npm start

I lounched the react app on Chrome with a command npm run dev

I lounched the server with a command npm start

refresh chrome
