How to use

Recommended way is to use Docker container.

docker pull swaggermock/swagger-mock

# with remote file
docker run -p 8080:8080 -e "SWAGGER_MOCK_SPECIFICATION_URL=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/master/examples/v3.0/petstore.yaml" --rm swaggermock/swagger-mock

# with local file
docker run -p 8080:8080 -v $PWD/examples/petstore.yaml:/openapi/petstore.yaml -e "SWAGGER_MOCK_SPECIFICATION_URL=/openapi/petstore.yaml" --rm swaggermock/swagger-mock

Also, you can use Docker Compose. Example of docker-compose.yml

version: '3.0'

services:
  swagger_mock:
    container_name: swagger_mock
    image: swaggermock/swagger-mock
    environment:
      SWAGGER_MOCK_SPECIFICATION_URL: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/master/examples/v3.0/petstore.yaml'
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"

To start up container run command

docker-compose up -d

Configuration

Environment variables

Mock server options can be set via environment variables.

SWAGGER_MOCK_SPECIFICATION_URL

Path to file with OpenAPI v3 specification (required)
Possible values: any valid URL or path to file

SWAGGER_MOCK_LOG_LEVEL

Error log level
Default value: warning
Possible values: error, warning, info, debug

SWAGGER_MOCK_CACHE_DIRECTORY

Directory for OpenAPI specification cache
Default value: /dev/shm/openapi-cache
Possible values: any valid path

SWAGGER_MOCK_CACHE_TTL

Time to live for OpenAPI specification cache in seconds
Default value: 0
Possible values: positive integer

SWAGGER_MOCK_CACHE_STRATEGY

Caching strategy for OpenAPI specification cache
Default value: disabled
Possible values: disabled, url_md5, url_and_timestamp_md5

Specification cache

To speed up server response time you can use caching mechanism for OpenAPI. There are several caching strategies. Specific strategy can be set by environment variable SWAGGER_MOCK_CACHE_STRATEGY.

url_md5 calculates hash from specification URL and if specification URL was not changed uses parsed objects from cache.
url_and_timestamp_md5 calculates hash from specification URL and timestamp (file timestamp or value of Last-Modified header). If you are using file from remote server make sure that valid Last-Modified header is present.

Recommended options for use with remote file (accessible by URL).

SWAGGER_MOCK_CACHE_STRATEGY='url_md5'
SWAGGER_MOCK_CACHE_TTL=3600

Recommended options for use with local file (at local server).

SWAGGER_MOCK_CACHE_STRATEGY='url_and_timestamp_md5'
SWAGGER_MOCK_CACHE_TTL=3600
