node-easymock's Introduction

EasyMock Server

Usage

    $ npm install -g easymock
    $ easymock

Files

All files from the running folder are present as static files. So place anything in there and it is accessible with GET filename.

Differentiating GET/POST/PUT/DELETE

If you want to use advanced serving features like GET/POST/PUT/DELETE or templates in json, provide files like in the example below:

    GET /items/1 => items/1_get.json
    POST /items/1 => items/1_post.json
    ...

config.json

If you want to configure routes, proxy or lag, create a config.json file which looks kind of like this:

    {
      "simulated-lag": 1000,
      "cors": false,
      "jsonp": false,
      "proxy": {
        "server": "http://yourrealapi.com",
        "default": false,
        "calls": {
          "/items/1": { "get": true, "post": false },
          "/items": false
        }
      },
      "variables": {
        "server": "http://server.com"
      },
      "routes": [
        "/user/:userid",
        "/user/:userid/profile",
        "/user/:userid/inbox/:messageid"
      ]
    }

If you want a random lag in responses, like in a real-world scenario, set simulated-lag-min and simulated-lag-max instead of simulated-lag (which would take precedence, though)

Variables

Variables that you define in your config.json can be used in files that have the _get/_post/... extension. As well you can use them in your templates.

Example to use variables. item_get.json:

    { "image": "#{server}/img.jpg" }

This will return:

    { "image": "http://server.com/img.jpg"}

GET query and POST body fields as Variables

Any field given in GET or POST can be used like other variables.

    Example: GET /search?q=test

Will provide you with a usable #{q} in your json file.

Any

Routes

The routes defined in the config.json will get mapped to one corresponding file in which the given name will be available as a variable.

With the above config.json a call to GET /user/1234 would get mapped to the file: /user/userid_get.json. Inside that file one could write:

{ "id": #{userid} }

If this is the file, the result would be { "userid": 1234 }

Templates

If you have items that are used over and over again, you can make templates for them and reuse the same template.

For that create a folder "_templates" and in it place for example a file object.json:

    { "name": "my object" }

Then you can refer this template out of another file like items_get.json:

    [ "{{object}}", "{{object}}", "{{object}}", "{{object}}"" ]

This will return a array with four times the object from the template.

Parameters

You can even use parameters. For example you have a template Object.json:

     {
        "name": "Item #{_1}",
        "image": "#{server}/img/img_#{_2}.jpg",
        "active": #{_3}
      }

And then a api object called items_get.json:

      [
        "{{Object(1,one,true)}}",
        "{{Object(2,two,false)}}",
        "{{Object(3,three,true)}}"
      ]

You will receive the following response:

      [
         {
            "name":"Item 1",
            "image":"http://server.com/img/img_one.jpg",
            "active":true
         },
         {
            "name":"Item 2",
            "image":"http://server.com/img/img_two.jpg",
            "active":false
         },
         {
            "name":"Item 3",
            "image":"http://server.com/img/img_three.jpg",
            "active":true
         }
      ]

Response headers

You can specify the status code for the response with @status and add headers with @header. The following example is for doing a redirect response.

< @status 301
< @header Location: http://www.cyberagent.co.jp

Will respond with:

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
x-powered-by: Express
location: http://www.cyberagent.co.jp
content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8
content-length: 0
date: Tue, 12 Mar 2013 08:21:39 GMT
connection: close

Documentation

easymock automatically documents the API it represents. This documentation can be extended by adding additional information like description, input info and output info to the json file. This is an example on how to do that for example in test_post.json:

# This is some documentation
# This call creates an object
> Parameters:
> - name
> - description (optional)
< @status 200
< @header Content-Type: application/json
{
  "id": 1234,
  "name": "your name",
  "description": "your description"
}

To add some general information in the documentation, add a file "_documentation/index.md". That one will be shown at the top of the documented calls.

Logging

All requests get logged and can be inspected. You can do so at http://localhost:3000/_logs/.

CORS and JSONP

Can be enabled by setting either "jsonp" or "cors" or both to true in the config.json.

Errors

Easymock can return errors defined in the documentation. the config.json set "error-rate": 0.5, to have a 50% error rate. So one out of 2 calls in average will return an error. To specify an error, first add a error json file in _documentation. For example "_documentation/error_not_authenticated.json":

< @status 401
{
  "error": "Authentication required"
}

In the mock file add an error like the following (example user.json):

< @error sample
< @error sample2

If there are multiple errors like above, it will randomly select one. The name after @error indicates the file name. "@error sample" will serve "_documentation/error_sample.json".
