Simplest Mock Server

This is a very simple mock server. Simplify returning static data on http requests.

It supports returning different static files requested with a specific url, method or query-parameters.

Return mock data specified by:

• url (e.g.: /customer )
• method (e.g.: GET, POST)
• query-parameter (e.g.: ?page=2&sort=name,desc)

Using the server

1. Navigate into your MagicMirror's modules folder and execute git clone https://github.com/JanLoebel/simplest-mock-server.git
2. Execute cd simplest-mock-server && npm install to install the node dependencies
3. Start the server by executing npm run watch
4. Configure the routes depending on your needs. Therefore open the config.js

module.exports = {
  server: {
    port: 3000
  },
  mocks: [
    {
      path: "/test",
      query: "a=true&b=false&c=1",
      responseFile: "./responseFiles/test1.txt",
    },
    {
      path: "/test/2",
      responseFile: "./responseFiles/test2.json"
      method: "POST",
      responseCode: 200
    }
  ];
}

Running the tests

Simplest Mock Server comes bundled with a Postman Collection containing some tests to verify everything is working.
