Freelance layout for Vue/React?

Question

React

Hello.
Colleagues, tell me how to approach freelance layout projects for Vue/React?
I don't understand how to work with data. For example, there is a catalog and product cards. If you work with the API, then everything is clear, the data comes from the server and you scatter them as needed. What if there is no API?

Another option is to hardcode data into objects/arrays and pass it to components. But here, after all, you can not get into the data structure when the backend developer on the part of the customer will connect the client to the server. If, of course, there is a backender, it may be that the customer will also find it on freelance.

In short, I can type separately. I also know how to work with Vue, but if there is a ready-made server.

Or most stupidly layouts components without data binding?

Answer 1

If there is no api, then just make up the way it is written in the requirements. Otherwise, in no way. If there is no api, then there should be json examples with which fakeApi can be used.

Answer 2

Take a json server and make the structure as convenient, then throw off the backender

Find any JSON and emulate the API.
