$ npm install -g easymock
$ easymock
All files from the running folder are present as static files. So place anything in there and it is accessible with GET filename.
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
...
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"
]
}
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"}
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
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 }
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.
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
}
]
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

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