How to run

Navigate to the root directory (this one) and run canned in your terminal or command prompt.

Canned runs by default on port 3000; you can change this if you like (-p 8080).

Dependencies

This service depends on canned, which runs on node and is available in npm. Install it locally using:

npm install -g canned

If you need node and npm (on a mac) then you should use homebrew:

brew install npm

On Linux - use your package manager to install node. On Windows - get the stable release from nodejs.org.

Starting the mock service

In this directory you can launch a fake API. Just run canned

How to create new mocks

Following the structure shown here, along with the documentation available at canned it should be possible to create further mocks.

    {"foo":"bar"}%

Try it out for a POST:
