I'm working on an MVP for a project, and I'm trying to mock up a "database" quick and dirty. I thought for now I'll just put my "database" into a .json file and work with that. I am able to use iron-ajax to get a file read in to a Polymer property to be manipulated, however, I don't know how I could write it back onto the filesystem once I manipulated it. I tried 

let fs = require('fs');
fs.writeFile('./db/db.json', json, 'utf8');

However, this does not work (apparently, require does not work on the client side). I've tried googling around and checking the answers on the linked thread, but the answers are quite vague ("use <script> tag" - okay, but how?) and I haven't been able to figure it out. How would I be able to pass a json object and write it back to the filesystem?

Simple answer is no you can't. You have to write a little backend for that but for that i usually use the localStorage there you can store JSON and read write.
