API Simulator

API Simulator is a tool to quickly set up a mock API server for testing and development purposes.

Features

• Rapid Setup: Initialize a mock API server with predefined endpoints.
• Customizable: Easily add, modify, or remove endpoints to mimic your API's behavior.
• Docker Support: Dockerfile and docker-compose included for containerized deployment.
• Prettier Config: Included .prettierrc for consistent code formatting.

Usage

Create a new API Simulator project by running:

npx create-api-simulator <project-name>

This will initialize a new project with default configurations. Replace with your desired project name.

Directory Structure

Upon project initialization, the directory structure will be as follows:

<project-name>/
  |- server.js          # Main server file
  |- package.json       # Project configuration
  |- endpoints.js       # API endpoints definition
  |- Dockerfile         # Docker configuration
  |- .dockerignore      # Files to exclude in Docker
  |- .prettierrc        # Prettier configuration
  |- docker-compose.yml # Docker compose file

Getting Started

1. Define Endpoints: Edit endpoints.js to define your API's endpoints and responses.
2. Start the Server: Run node server.js to start the API simulator.
3. Testing: Interact with your mock API using tools like Postman or curl.

Rules for defining endpoints:

{
  "/api/endpoint": {
    METHOD: {
        request: {
            // Request body
        },
        response: {
            // Response body
        },
    }
  }
}
