6. view your mock API(Yes! it with immediate effect)

config

Config mock API in _mockserver.json.

The minimal _mockserver.json

{
    "api": {
        "GET /api/users": {
            "response": {}
        }
    }
}

Please view mockserver config doc for more detail info.

• comment is nice
• config route and mock response data template is so easy
• more data template please see Mock.js examples
• disable a route is convenient
• mock server will effective immediately when you changed _mockserver.json

customize

Customize launch mock server in _mockserver.js.

• You may customize mock API doc

  • You may customize /_apidoc route direct service a more graceful doc

    // _mockserver.js
    module.exports = require('puer-mock')(null, null, function(mockConfig) {
        // 任你自由发挥
        return '<pre>' + JSON.stringify(mockConfig, null, 4) + '</pre>';
    });

  • You may customize /_apidoc.html which get mock API JSON from /_apidoc, you may totally implement it by yourself

• You may customize config file and launch file

  If you do not use default _mockserver.json or _mockserver.js

  // use _mockserver2.json for config file
  //
  // _mockserver.js
  // puer -a _mockserver.js
  module.exports = require('puer-mock')(__filename, './_mockserver2.json');

  // use _mockserver2.js and _mockserver2.json
  //
  // _mockserver2.js
  // puer -a _mockserver2.js
  module.exports = require('puer-mock')(__filename, './_mockserver2.json');

• Play it fun with your imagination.

  // _mockserver.js
  var puerMock = require('puer-mock');
  var routeConfig = puerMock();
  // 其实你完全可以这样来玩, 在这里接着定义 route 即可, 发挥你的想象力
  // 例如定义一个常用的 500 接口, 来测试服务器报错的情况
  routeConfig['GET /500'] = function(request, response, next) {
      response.status(500).end();
  };
  module.exports = routeConfig;

眼见为实耳听为虚, puer-mock 让你一秒钟就能拥有一个强大的 mock server, 所以请不要再自己手工做假数据了, 赶快尝试一下让你的工作效率翻番吧!

配置 API 并生成随机数据

查看所有的 API 接口文档

通过 /_apidoc.html 查看接口文档

通过 /_apidoc 直接查看 JSON 数据, 即查看 mock server 配置了哪些 API(使用 FeHelper 插件 格式化了 JSON 数据)
