@sap-ux/ui5-middleware-fe-mockserver
Features
The SAP Fiori - UI5 middleware for the Fiori elements mock server is a middleware extension for the UI5 Tooling. As an alternative to proxying OData requests to a live backend, it supports loading mock data for OData v2/v4 requests for supported Fiori elements templates. As the mock server runs locally without requiring a network connection to a backend system, it is useful for development and test scenarios.

Service Configuration
Each service must provide at least two things
- urlPath : where will your service be accessible from
- metadataPath : local path to your metadata file
On top of that you can specify one of the following option
- mockdataPath : the path to the folder containing the mockdata files
- generateMockData : whether or not you want to use automatically generated mockdata
Additional option are available either per service of for all services if defined globally
- debug : toggle the debug mode
- watch : toggle the watch mode, the mockserver will restart the service where data or metadata have changed
- noETag : disable ETag support on metadata
- strictKeyMode : disable the default "loose" mode for the key matching, you can try this if the mockserver returns too much data
- contextBasedIsolation : enable the support of "tenants", by adding /tenant-xxx at the very start of your service call you will be able to work on tenant isolated data.
