Cant save .json file

Coding Help
1

I have file users.json and i have to save it
Standard methods doesn’t work like using fs
How do i save my json file (pls write a code)

2

Ik that by typing “refresh” in console i can save it but i need it in code

3

What do you mean by save? Download it to your computer? Does copying and pasting get the job done?

4 
const fs = require('fs'); 
fs.writeFileSync('demofile.json', JSON.stringify({hello:'world'}));

i use this in my projects, try it

5

I meant load data from file then change and save it back. .json file is located on glitch

You are editing the file from the online editor, right? Or are you editing the file from your code?

16

From my code

17

Oh, ok, can you share your code/project so I can have a look?

18

Anything in your logs?

19

No, nothing about it

I’m not a node expert, but the standard way to use fs is to declare it at the top of the script:

const fs = require('fs')
