MOCK SERVER

You can create a fake Restfull API of your mocks to improve your front-end development using only JSON.

It's just a Node.js app using Express.

This application fully supports the Node on Heroku article.

Deploying to Heroku

We gonna use Node on Heroku and mLab. You must have Heroku CLI installed.

$ heroku create # or heroku create project-name
$ heroku addons:create mongolab
$ git push heroku master
$ heroku open

How to use MOCK SERVER

Using Front-end Web Application

You can use the Front-end Web Application to manage your mock.

Using the API

• Header ContentType: application/json

• POST /mock, save and update passing "_id" field.

      {
      "method": "GET",
      "route": "/hello",
      "use": 200,
      "timeout": 200,
      "responses":[
          {
              "code": 200,
              "data": {
                  "msg": "Success!"
              }
          },
          {
              "code": 500,
              "data": {
                  "msg": "Internal Server Error"
              }
          }
      ]
  }

• GET /mocks, return all mocks

• GET /mock/:id, ruturn a single mock by ID

• DELETE /mock/:id, delete a mock by ID
