mock-responses

mock-responses

NodeJS http request handling middleware, a mock server, with admin UI.

Is your back-end api not ready, too slow, or unstable? Your front-end development is dependent on several APIs and they affect your development? You don't have to wait any more by mocking all back-end responses using mock-responses.

Compatible with;

• connect
• express
• browser-sync
• and many more.

TL;DR

Add the middleware to your code before you start the server.

var express = require('express');
var mockResponses = require('mock-responses')('./mock-responses.sqlite3');

// Pretending express is your front-end development server, which compiles and run your code.
var app = express();
// Add mockResponses as your code.
app.use(mockResponses);
app.listen(3000);

Then, hit the urls

http://localhost:3000/developer
http://localhost:3000/my/api/path

Install

$ npm install --save-dev mock-responses

Getting Started

1. Start your development server with mock-responses middleware

express example

const express = require('express');
const path = require('path');
const mockResponses = require(__dirname + '/../index.js');

const app = express()
mockResponses.forEach(mw => app.use(mw))

app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Example app listening on port 3000!'))

2. Visit admin UI /developer#mock-responses to manage mock or proxy responses.

https://localhost:3000/developer#mock-responses

proxy-url options can be found here

3. DONE!!

Now, you can add, update, delete, or search your api responses, which is mocked but never fails.
