Simple Mockup Server

A simple and light mockup server designed to emulate responses from http requests and test communication.

Installation and execution

1. Install with : npm install -g simple-mockup-server
2. Execute with : simple-mockup-server (Port can be specified with PORT parameter, by default uses 3001) PORT=portN simple-mockup-server

Set simple requests

1. Create json file specifying the endpoint and the desired response (status is an optional parameter)

{
	"endpoint": "NewTestEndpoint",
	"status": 202,
	"response" : {
    	"TEST": [
	        {
	            "firstName": "John",
	            "lastName": "Doe"
	        },
	        {
	            "firstName": "Anna",
	            "lastName": "Smith"
	        },
	        {
	            "firstName": "Peter",
	            "lastName": "Jones"
	        }
	    ]
	}
}

2. Send a post petition to http://localhost:3001/createEndpoint with the specified json as body

3. (Simpler alternative without params) Send a post petition to http://localhost:3001/createEndpoint/ENDPOINTNAME with the desired response in the body

{
  	"TEST": [
        {
            "firstName": "John",
            "lastName": "Doe"
        },
        {
            "firstName": "Anna",
            "lastName": "Smith"
        },
        {
            "firstName": "Peter",
            "lastName": "Jones"
        }
    ]
}

Access created endpoints

1. To list all the requests endpoints: http://localhost:3001/listEndpoints
2. Execute any petition type to http://localhost:3001/ENDPOINTNAME to get the specified response

Alternative way to set and edit simple requests

1. Open file httpPetitions.json
2. Edit/add/delete any requests (All requests must be in one line with the same structure as before)

Instructions to add functions with logic to the default configuration

1. Create function in /controller/mockupController.js
2. Set endpoint location in /routes/routes.js

Next steps

1. Add similar functionality for websockets
