quick-rest-server v1.0.5

quick-rest-server

Generate a simple REST API in less than 15 seconds.

Getting started

Install rest api

npm install quick-rest-server

Install nodemon for having hot reload

npm install nodemon

Basic Usage

import server from 'quick-rest-server'

server.config({ port: 3000 })

// Making type annotation for the data here is optional.
server.generateRoutes<{ id: number; name: string; price: number }>([
  {
    method: 'get',
    path: '/api/products',
    data: [
      { id: 1, name: 'Product 1', price: 500 },
      { id: 2, name: 'Product 2', price: 750 },
    ],
    delay: 2000,
  },
])

server.start()

After adding the code all you need to is type the command below in terminal(here it's assumed that we have that code in server.ts file)

npx nodemon server.ts

If you are going to use it in a ts project that is already exist, you may want to add a new folder and in that folder add an empty tsconfig.json file for preventing conflict might arise from having multiple tsconfig files.

mkdir mock-server
cd mock-server
touch server.ts
touch tsconfig.json

npx nodemon server.ts
