title: POST request to a local JSON from React
body: <p>im trying to understand React and POST request, is it possible to modify a local JSON file from react, a file essentially stored on a hard disk? there are a lot of articles online about getting information from a local json and displaying it onto view components, but not a lot of documentation about modifying a local json, which leads me to ask the question if it is even possible to do so?
  if not, what other alternatives do i have?</p>
