hardCodedResponse(options) ⇒ ExpressMiddleware

This function is an Express JS middleware which would try to match the specified pattern (from an array of MatchCondition objects) with req.originalUrl. - If no match is found, then the request would just pass through. - If a match is found, then serve the corresponding file (specified in the MatchCondition object) as its hard-coded response. Note: res.locals['matchedCondition'] is set as per the first-matched-condition

Kind: global function
Returns: ExpressMiddleware - Express middleware

| Param | Type | Default | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | options | Object | | | | [options.conditions] | Array.<MatchCondition> | | Array of conditions which would be used for matching with req.originalUrl A falsy-value (or empty array) would make this function call effectively empty and the request would pass-through | | [options.verbose] | Boolean | false | truthy-value to log each matched URL and corresponding pattern | | [options.baseDir] | Object | "<empty-string>" | Base directory for the relative paths | | [options.debugNote] | Object | "This is a hard-coded response intended for debugging purposes only" | Debug note to be added as HTTP header (and JSON property if MatchCondition says .type is 'json') - If responseText & responseFile are not provided in MatchCondition, then debugNote is used as the response - Set it to false to disable it | | [options.console] | Object | console | A logging/console object, which supports .log() and .warn() |

Properties

| Name | Type | Default | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | pattern | String | | "none" or falsy-value would match none "*" or "all" would match all "<any-other-pattern>" would be searched as plain string anywhere in the req.originalUrl | | status | String | 200 | Response status | | type | String | | Type of response (currently supporting 'json') If 'json' is used: - responseFile's contents would be read as commented-json (CJSON) and the commentes would be stripped-off. - 'Content-Type' header is set as 'application/json; charset=utf-8' by default, unless overridden using contentType option. - debugNote would be added as a property to the JSON response (this can be overwritten through the options when setting up the middleware). | | contentType | String | | 'Content-Type' header | | responseText | String | | The text to be used as the hard-coded response (responseText has more priority than responseFile) | | responseFile | String | | The file to be used as the hard-coded response (responseText has more priority than responseFile) | | Any-other-object-properties | * | | Any other object properties (these might be accessed after match from res.locals['matchedCondition']) |
