httpd-mock for Node.js

This application creates a mock http server that supports static files and webservices implementation providing a simple configuration file to the application.

It also acts as a module that can run inside other applications.

Usage

httpd-mock [-c, --config <path>] [-O, --output] [-p <port>] [-r <rootpath>] If you provide a configuration file and command line arguments that conflicts, those arguments will override.

Configuration file

A JSON file containing the following structure:

{
    "serverRootPath": "./public", // default value
    "servicesPrefix": "/api", // default value
    "output": false, // default value
    "serverPort": "8080", // default value is random, set output has true to see the generated port
    "entities": { // It'll create REST services (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) per each entity
        "myEntitiy": {
            "defaults": "pathToMyData.json", // the JSON file should contain an array with all the default entries of the entity
            "idAttribute": "_id" // default value
        }
    }
}

Module usage example

var HttpdMock = require('httpd-mock'),
    httpdMock = new HttpdMock();
httpdMock
    .setConfigFile('pathtofile.json');
    .start();
