Is it possible to save data to a json file on local disk using $resource.save without using any server side implementation?

Question

I am trying to build an Employement Management App in AngularJS where a basic operation is adding an employee. I am displaying details using a service and getting Json data from the mock json file i am using. Similarly, can i add form data to a textfile on the harddisk. I have seen it done in a tutorial using $resource.save. If at all it is possible without any server side code please share the example,it would be helpful.

Thanks.

Solution

You can make use of HTML5 local browser storage, as this does not require folder access. Mode datails here http://diveintohtml5.info/storage.html

AngularJS has modules for local storage which you can use to access such storages like this https://github.com/grevory/angular-local-storage
