MockSON

NOTE: This is highly experimental(!)

A mock server for simulating a REST service with static JSON files.

Configuration

The only file you should need to update is the config.js file.

var config = {
  'host': 'localhost',
  'port': 3000,
  'app': 'tmp',                        // Directory to host the application
  'assets': 'assets',                  // Directory that contains your css, fonts, images, js, templates
  'services': [ 'beers', 'whiskies' ], // An array of services that your app will use
  'bootstrap': 'test/bootstrap',       // Dirctory containing bootstrap data
  'data': 'tmp/data'                   // Directory to copy bootstrap data to
};

Creating a service

Create a directory that matches your service name within your bootstrap directory. For each service, create a index.json file. Then for individual records, create individual files for each record.

Example Service

/beers
 - index.json
 - 1.json
 - 2.json
 - 3.json

Example Request

When the server starts, all bootstrapped data is copied to a data directory inside of your application directory.

$http.get('/data/beers');

Test Application

Running the Application

cd test && bower install && cd ../
npm install
grunt
node src/server.js

Open your browser to http://localhost:3000

Editing the Application

grunt watch

Editing any of the files in ./test will rebuild the application to ./tmp.

Roadmap

Add mongoDB for CRUD operations
