Sometimes developers face a situation in which they are approaching the deadline of project demo, but the back-end is unlikely to be done before the deadline. It may happens to you that you are working on a front-end project which the back-end API is not ready to serve the request you from front-end. MockiMouse <\/a>is an easy to use, and an easy to run mock server that helps you make dynamic fake API to test or demo your front-end project without waiting for back-end team to deliver the real APIs you need. In a few lines of YAML file you can config your fake server to generate fake response data and start serving requests coming from front-end. You can find the project and its binaries on its github repository<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s go to the point! First, I start from a simplest possible case where we want to mock two simple API that always send same response to client. Open config.yml file and past below configuration in it, then start the server:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MockServer :\n port : 800\n endpoints :\n  - name : Hello world endpoint\n    path : \/hello\n    method : GET\n    scenarios :\n     - description : no condition, always show same message\n       response: \n         - Welcome to Hello world \n  - name : Goodbye endpoint\n    path : \/goodbye\n    method : POST\n    scenarios :\n     - description : no condition, always show goodbye\n       response: \n         - Goodbye. See you later<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
As you can see The config starts with MockServer <\/strong>root, then with port <\/strong>parameter you can choose on which port you want to start the mock server. That’s not the only parameter you can set for the server, the contextPath <\/strong>for APIs and staticFilesPath <\/strong>are to other optional parameters of server :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
