Usage
Simple usage
const {chaos} = require('express-chaos-middleware');

The random seed can be configured in the input object param.
const {chaos} = require('express-chaos-middleware');
app.use(chaos({
// this seed throw an exception on the first call
seed: 'uJaK8BUr2084pph',
}))

The probability of chaos can be configured in the input object param.
This parameter is a number value between 0 and 100.
const {chaos} = require('express-chaos-middleware');
app.use(chaos({
probability: 50,
}))
Advanced usage - Override max delay
The max slowdown delay can be configured in the input object param.
const {chaos} = require('express-chaos-middleware');
app.use(chaos({
maxDelay: 1000,
}))
Advanced usage - Use custom http error codes array
The http error codes array can be overridden in the input object param.
const {chaos} = require('express-chaos-middleware');
app.use(chaos({
errCodes: [400, 500],
}))
Advanced usage - Use custom feature list

You can for example only use delay and http error codes with the following configuration
All rules are exported in the Rules

const {chaos} = require('express-chaos-middleware');
app.use(chaos({

}))
