starworld-mock-api v0.1.0

starworld-mock-api

A server that responds with mock data.

Development

Run the linter:

npm run watch

Integration Tests

NOTE: These tests probably only work on macos, since using gtimeout and greadlink in the wait-for-it.sh script.

NOTE: If running on macos, you will need coreutils installed.

brew install coreutils

Run tests:

npm run test

Usage

This command starts up a service running on a specified port. The command is added to npm's bin as starworld-mock-api.

Usage: starworld-mock-api -p <num>

Options:
  --version  Show version number      [boolean]
  -h         Show help                [boolean]
  -p         The port to listen on.   [required]

The service exposes several endpoints.

/_starworld/register

Register an endpoint with the server. After registering, if this endpoint is queried, it will respond with the data provided in the request. The query part of the URL will be ignored when matching the requested URL (e.g. if your endpoint is '/test', it will match '/test?blah=1'). However, the endpoint param provided when registering will not be altered, so if you include a query in it, it likley won't match any requests.

Method: POST

Content Type: application/json

Parameters:

• endpoint (string, required) The path of the endpoint you want to register (e.g. /user/messages)
• method (string, optional, default: GET) The request method to respond to.
• status (int, optional, default: 200) The status to respond with when the endpoint is queried
• headers (object, optional, default: {'Content-type': 'application/json'}) Any response headers to send.
• respondRaw (boolean, optional, default: false) By default, the response will be sent as JSON. Set this to true and the response body will be returned exactly as provided.
• body (any, required) The response body. By default will send this as JSON string. See respondRaw to change this behavior.
• responses (arrayobject, optional) Instead of sending status, headers, responseRaw and body, you can send an array of objects with those keys. Each subsequent call to the endpoint will respond with a value from that array. After the array is exhausted, all subsequent calls will response with the last value from the array.

Result:

Status: 200, 500 (on error)

/_starworld/clear

Clear one ore all endpoints.

Method: POST

Content Type: application/json

Parameters:

• endpoint (string, optional) The endpoint to clear. If not provided, will clear all endpoints
• method (string, optional, default: GET) The method to clear.

Result:

Status: 200, 500 (on error)
