Parrot

Parrot

Parrot is a development tool to make the client and server independent during the development cycles by acting as mock server. Both front-end and back-end developer could create a separate git repository and document their request and response easy and let the parrot do the rest until these two could be connected to each other.

Features

Easy configuration
Handle JSON, HTML, and other responses as file
Support config hot-reload to prevent reruns

How to use

First of all, you need to create a separate directory for your mock server files. Then download parrot executable file for your system by running the command:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ARTM2000/parrot/refs/heads/master/scripts/download.bash -s | bash

After the parrot downloaded, you have to pass the mock server configuration to it. parrot by default reads the configuration from ./config.yml but you can pass the config file path with -c flag. Here is the config file sample.

After the config file prepared, you can validate it by running the following:

./parrot validate # for default path
# Or
./parrot validate -c /path/to/config.yml # for specific path

Run the parrot mock server by running the following:

./parrot run # for default path
# Or
./parrot run -c /path/to/config.yml # for specific path
