NodeJS Mock Server

A mock JSON REST server

What is this project all about?

This product is a backend-as-a-service (BaaS) that lets you create and test REST APIs without having to write any code for the backend.

What is the need of this project?

Most of the front-end developers require fake REST APIs for quick prototyping and testing, and this project can be easily consumed by letting you build entities of your choice, performing CRUD operations and filters on top of it.

Note: There is no validation added so that the entities created are as dynamic as possible.

Usage

• npm install
• cd node-mom
• node index.js

API Endpoints

GET

/

Displays all the entities that you have created

POST

/:entityName

BODY
{"key":"value"}

For creating a new entity (Add as many key value pair as you wish)

PUT

/:entityName/:id

For updating a specific entity

DELETE

/:entityName/:id

For deleting a specific entity

Filtering Results

Filtering by key value pair

/:entityName?<key=value>

Filtering by search

/:entityName?_q=<value that you want to search>

Filtering by sort

/:entityName?_sort=<key>

Filtering by order

/:entityName?order=<asc/dsc>(Gives ascending results by default)

Key Features of this backend service

• Persistant storage in a file called store.json, where you can add your own JSON object
• No knowledge of backend + database needed to build the REST APIs
• Supports multiple search queries while filtering

Drawbacks

• Search isn't supported for nested JSON objects
