mockjax-router

npm install mockjax-router

Build a mock API to use in your browser tests:

var mockjaxRouter = require('mockjax-router');

var router = mockjaxRouter();

var users = {};
var lastUserId = -1;

router.get('/users/:userId', function(request) {
  var user = users[request.params.userId];

  return {
    body: user
  };
});

router.post('/users', function(request) {
  var user = request.body;
  user.id = lastUserId++;

  users[user.id] = user;

  return {
    statusCode: 201,
    headers: {
      location: '/users/' + user.id
    },
    body: user
  };
});

Use it with jquery:

var $ = require('jquery');

$.get('/users/1').then(function (user) {
  console.log(user);
});

api

var mockjaxRouter = require('mockjax-router');
var router = mockjaxRouter();

router.get(path, handler);
router.delete(path, handler);
router.head(path, handler);
router.post(path, handler);
router.put(path, handler);
router.head(path, handler);

• path - a path for the resource, usually a root relative path like /api/users, but could also be an absolute URL. Can contain parameters, in the form of :paramName, e.g. /users/:userId.

handlers

function handler(request) {
  return response;
}

• request - an object containing:
  • method - the method, one of GET, POST, etc.
  • url - the url of the resource
  • params - an object containing the parameters taken from the path
  • headers - an object with the request headers
  • body - body. if this was transmitted as JSON then this is parsed into a JS value.
• response - an object containing the following fields.
  • statusCode - the status code, if omitted then 200.
  • headers - an object with the response headers. Optional.
  • body - the body, if a JS object, then it is transmitted as JSON. Optional.

The response can be omitted too, giving a 200 OK.
