anymocker

A smart mock server based on Anyproxy, can install by typing

   npm install anymocker -g

This illustrate below show how it works:

Before all

• this is a tool using for fine tuning API json response, which based on Anyproxy, so please follow up anyproxy instruction to setup the environment, that's the basis of rules

• use jsonpath to locate a field in API response

Rule detail

here are some examples about defining a rule

• replace all API's response(json format), make all name field equal to github, all text field equal to anymocker, that's a global rule

$ anymocker -s save -m $..name=github $..text=anymocker

• replace api xxx/xxx response(json format), make all name field equal to github, delete all the text field, and then inject a field title, valued devil, that's a api rule

$ anymocker -s save -a xxx/xxx -m $..name=github -d $..text -i $.title=devil

• when both api and global rules are specified, should notice that for the same field, api will override global, below the api xxx/xxx will mock text field as github, and for other request(global) will mock text field as gitlab

$ anymocker -s save -a xxx/xxx -m $..name=github -d $..text -i $.title=devil -m $..name=gitlab

Fuzzy

if you don't want to fake data so painful, you can just put a FUZZ as the value

• only number, string and boolean can be fuzzy
• can randomly return null
• for number, there are chances to amplify and shrink by multiple
• for string, there are chances to get an empty ''

$ anymocker -s save -a xxx/xxx -m $..name=FUZZ -d $..text -i $.title=devil -m $..name=gitlab $..text=FUZZ

TODO

for multi apis mock, something need to consider:

if input parameters are like this:

$ anymocker -s save -a api1 -m x -a api2 -m y -i z

you intend to make rules below:

{
  "api": {
    "api1": {
      "mock": [
        x
      ]
    },
    "api2": {
      "mock": [
        y
      ],
      "inject": [
        z
      ]
    }
  }
}

but unfortunately, what you get exactly is:

{
  "api": {
    "api1": {
      "mock": [
        x
      ],
      "inject": [
        z
      ]
    },
    "api2": {
      "mock": [
        y
      ]
    }
  }
}

the latter -i z will be squashed as an api1 rule, that's because anymocker analisis parameters by order. so please, to set a parameter at a prior place, or you just want to make it easy, try anymocker -s save -a api1 -m x -i -a api2 -m y -i z
