endpoint-response-override v1.1.2

endpoint-response-override

A simple tool which allows you to override the endpoint responses of your express server. It is useful when you want to test the front end behaviour based on different server responses. for example you can use it to test the NextJs server side rending scenarios.

usage

setup

setup example (for details check example folder]):

const jsonServer = require('json-server');
const initialData = require('./db.json');
const { overrideRouter, responseOverrideMiddleware } = require('endpoint-response-override');

const server = jsonServer.create();

const router = jsonServer.router(initialData);

const middlewares = jsonServer.defaults();

// here to add override middleware
server.use(responseOverrideMiddleware);

server.use(middlewares);
server.use(jsonServer.bodyParser);

// add the override route
server.use('/override', overrideRouter);
server.use(router);

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;
server.listen(PORT, () => {
  console.log(`JSON Server is running on port ${PORT}`);
});

register endpoint response

POST /override/register body:

{
    "url": "/users",
    "method": "GET",
    "response": {
        "status": 200,
        "body": {
            "name": "batman"
        }
    }
}

response status code: 200 After this when you call GET /users, then the server will return status 200 with body

{
    "name" : "batman"
}

clear the override response

POST /overide/reset response status code: 200 This endpoint will clear all the override responses.

parallel register / override

add Header x-parallel-index in each request, include /register and /reset, this feawture is useful when mocking server side response in the playwright tests
