usage

An example for mocking swagger definition schema

// basic usage
var Parser = require('swagger-mock-parser')
var parser = new Parser();
var schema = definition.schema;
return parser.parse(schema);

// useExample option
var Parser = require('swagger-mock-parser')
// set useExample true will return every property's example which has already defined
var parser = new Parser({useExample: true});
var schema = {type: 'string', example: 'will return example first'}
return parser.parse(schema);

// useObjectKey option
var Parser = require('swagger-mock-parser')
// set useObjectKey true will return every Object property's name as the string value，but useExample is prior
var parser = new Parser({useExample: true, useObjectKey: true});
var hasExampleSchema ={
    type: 'object',
    properties: {
        objectKeyName: {type: 'string', example: 'useExample prior'}
    }
}
var noExampleSchema ={
    type: 'object',
    properties: {
        objectKeyName: {type: 'string', example: ''}
    }
}
// this will return { objectKeyName: 'useExample prior' }
return parser.parse(hasExampleSchema);
// this will return { objectKeyName: 'objectKeyName' }
return parser.parse(noExampleSchema);

Specifying custom Chance options

Swagger specifies only a few primitive types; for scenarios where specific chance methods are needed, use the x-chance-type field.

...
definitions:
  NewPet:
    properties:
      name:
        type: string
        x-chance-type: name
      tag:
        type: string
        x-chance-type: guid

Most of the chance methods allow some fine-tuning of the returned data. For example, the integer method allows specification of minimum and maximum output values. These options can be configured in the Swagger YAML file with the x-chance-options block:

...
definitions:
  Pet:
    allOf:
      - $ref: '#/definitions/NewPet'
      - required:
        - id
        properties:
          id:
            type: integer
            format: int64
            x-type-options:
              min: 1
              max: 1000

A note on types:

All of the primitive types defined in the Swagger specification are supported except for file and password. Currently, the format property is ignored; use x-chance-type instead. The server will error on any request with a type other than one of the primitive types if there is no valid x-chance-type also defined.

Returning Fixed Values

Although not a chance method, support has been added for returning fixed values using x-chance-type: fixed. Any value given for the custom tag x-type-value will be returned; below is an example where an object is returned:

    status:
      type: object
      x-chance-type: fixed
      x-type-value:
        type: 'adopted'
