mock-data-server

Small NodeJS server for mocked data. When run, it uses data from json or js files for response. It resolves data based on url path. If path does not exist throws 404.

Usage

let server = require('@kpajtasev/mock-data-server');
server.run(`mocksLocation`);

Runs mocking server in default port 9000.

Setting custom port

let server = require('@kpajtasev/mock-data-server');
server.setPort(3000);
server.run(`mocksLocation`);

Cross origin

To fix cross origin errors, setAccessOrigin method can be used. Following code allows requests from local port 9090.

let server = require('@kpajtasev/mock-data-server');
server.setAccessOrigin('http://127.0.0.1:9090');
server.run(`mocksLocation`);

Mocks namespace

Namespace of mock files can be set using setNamespace method. Bellow example means that before resolving file, /api will be removed from path.

let server = require('@kpajtasev/mock-data-server');
server.setNamespace('/api');
server.run(`mocksLocation`);

Filtering

If your mock is array, you can use filtering by sending query parameters.

Example

// test.json
[
  { "test": 2, "name": "J"},
  { "test": 1, "name": "A"},
  { "test": 2, "name": "W"},
  { "test": 3, "name": "E"}
]

When /test is returned full test.json content is returned.

If /test?test=1 is requested, response is:

// test.json
[
  { "test": 1, "name": "A"}
]

Function

Mock also can be defined as function where result of function will be sent as response.

Example

// test.js
module.exports = () => [
  { "test": 2, "name": "J"}
]

When /test is requested response is:

[
  { "test": 2, "name": "J"}
]

Mock Example

let server = require('@kpajtasev/mock-data-server');
server.run(`mocksLocation`);

When http://127.0.0.1:9000/test is request, response will match content of mocksLocation/test file.
