Osprey Mock Service

Generate an API mock service from a RAML definition using Osprey.

Usage

Global (CLI)

npm install -g osprey-mock-service

Start the service from the CLI. This will automatically use the baseUri as the path to the mock service. For example, http://example.com/api will result in http://localhost:{PORT}/api.

osprey-mock-service -f api.raml -p 3000 --cors

Options

-f Path to the root RAML definition (E.g. /path/to/api.raml)
-p Port number to bind the server locally
--cors Enable CORS with the API

Locally (JavaScript)

npm install osprey-mock-service --save

The mocking service simply accepts a RAML definition and returns a router that can be mounted into any Connect-style middleware layer or even used with http. Best used with osprey to support incoming validation automatically.

var mockService = require('../osprey-mock-service')
var express = require('express')
var parser = require('raml-1-parser')
var path = require('path')
var osprey = require('osprey')

var app = express()

parser.loadRAML(path.join(__dirname, 'api.raml'), { rejectOnErrors: true })
  .then(function (ramlApi) {
    var raml = ramlApi.expand(true).toJSON({ serializeMetadata: false })
    app.use(osprey.server(raml))
    app.use(mockService(raml))
    app.listen(3000)
  })
