mock-api-server =============== A flexible and powerful stand-in API server. This server is meant to be booted quickly (for example, inside a test suite) in a Node.js process. ## Booting From the command-line: ./node_modules/.bin/mock-api-server --port PORT To boot once for a test: ```javascript var MockApi = require('mock-api-server'); var api = new MockApi({"port": 7000}); api.start(function(err) { // ... do stuff ... api.stop(); }) ``` To connect to an existing server: ```javascript var MockApi = require('mock-api-server'); var api = new MockApi({"port": 7000}); api.reset(); // Or whatever you want to do. ``` See `test/server_test.coffee` for more detailed examples. If you are using Mocha, you can also boot the server in a `before` clause. It's also possible to boot the server once at the beginning of the test suite. ## Options The `MockApi` supports the following options:

Option	Description
`port`	The IP port on which the mock server listens. Must be specified.
`logToConsole`	If `true`, requests will be logged to the console. Default: `false`.
`logToFile`	If set to a filename, requests will be logged to the specified file. If `null` or omitted, no file logging is done.

## Canned Responses Canned responses live in your project's `test/mock-api` directory. This directory and its subdirectories has the same structure as your API. For example, to serve an endpoint `/v2/foobizzle`, populate the file `test/mock-api/GET/v2/foobizzle.json`. ### Responding to HTTP Methods Files in the `test/mock-api/GET` subdirectory are used for GET requests. Files in `test/mock-api/PUT` subdirectory are used for PUT requests, and so forth. ### Responding to Query Parameters If you have these three files: test/mock-api/GET/v2/foobizzle.json test/mock-api/GET/v2/foobizzle.json?type=search test/mock-api/GET/v2/foobizzle.json?type=search&s=foo then `mock-api-server` will serve the third one when `type=search` and `s=foo` are provided as query parameters. If only `type=search` is provided, the second one will be served--`mock-api-server` will take the most specific matching file. `*` can be used to match zero or more characters. For example, the following file: test/mock-api/GET/v2/foobizzle.json?type=*search* Will match requests with a query parameter `type` containing a value "search" or "index,search" or "search,index". Note that most shells will interpret `?`, `*`, and `&`, so to create these files, you will have to backslash them. For example: $ touch test/mock-api/GET/v2/foobizzle.json\?type=\*search\*\&s=foo ## Live Responses You can tell the API server to respond to a particular request like so: ```javascript api.respondTo('/foo/bar').with({status: 'OK', headers: {'access-control-allow-origin': '*'}}); ``` This will be active until the next time `api.reset()` is called. You can modify an existing response with: ```javascript api.respondTo('/foo/bar').byReplacing('foo.bar[1].baz').with([ 76 ]); ```
