tinystub

A tiny stub server inspired by the functionality of httpbin.org for use in black box testing of JSON APIs.

Usage:

const stub       = require('tinystub');
const stubHandle = stub(3001); // specify port on localhost

#returns 200 with empty body
$ curl http://localhost:3001

# returns 200 with body of {"cool": "nice"}
$ curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPOST http://localhost:3001/somepath -d '{"cool": "nice"}'

# returns 403 with body of {"error": "permission denied"}
$ curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPOST http://localhost:3001/some/nested/path?status=403 -d '{"error": "permission denied"}'

# clears calls
$ curl -XDELETE http://localhost:3001

console.log(stubHandle.calls.length);  // 3
console.log(stubHandle.calls[0].url);  // /some/nested/path
console.log(stubHandle.calls[0].body); // {"error": "permission denied"}

stubHandle(); // shuts down server
