Possible to serve JSON files?

[damianesteban]

Ambassador is a great project - I've been using it for testing and I love it.

Is it possible to serve JSON directly from a file, similar to how json-server works?

@damianesteban Thank you for so much! Really glad to hear 😄 🙌

Yes, it's possible, that's not a build-in function, but you can do it manually with JSONResponse, like this

router["/users/([0-9]+)"] = JSONResponse(handler: { environ -> Any in
    let captures = environ["ambassador.router_captures"] as! [String]
    let id = captures[0]
    // or read the JSON and parse it from a file
    let users = [
        "1": [
            "name": "john"
        ]
    ]
    return users[id]
})

or you can also define your own Response, which reads JSON files, parses URL parameters and return them accordingly. I think reference to how JSONResponse works

https://github.com/envoy/Ambassador/blob/master/Ambassador/Responses/JSONResponse.swift#L14-L71

could be a good start.
