node-easy-mock

Introduction

a node.js application that mocks api based on configuration

Features

1. mock response

   configure routers so the api respond with provide json file, for example:

   { "path": "/example", "data": "./data/example.json", "method": "get" }
   

   then a request GET /example will get response with content of the file ./data/example.json

2. default proxy

   for all requests to a path that has not been defined in previous configuration, the api will work as a proxy and redirect the request to a specificed proxy server.

   for example: given that "proxy": "http://localhost:9528" has been set, and path /api/element/1 has not been mocked, then a request GET /api/element/1 will be proxied to http://localhost:9528/api/element/1 and get response from the proxy server.

3. cors allowed for all origins

Usage

1. npm install
2. locate ./src/config/default.json for configuration
3. (optional) modify app.port to the port you want to host the mock api
4. (optional) modify proxy to the hostname of the proxy server, which will handle unrouted requests
5. update routers for mocks
6. npm start
