fakeservercli

README

A fake API object server you can start from the command line

Fakeserver is used by the testing suite and is wrapped by a simple CLI tool that allows you to start it outside of the test suite.

There are only a few options for fakeservercli: -port (int) - the port on 127.0.0.1 the fakeserver will bind to. Defaults to 8080 -debug - Will produce verbose information to STDOUT on requests and responses -static_dir - When set, will serve files in this directory under the path /static/[name_of_file]

Once running, fakeserver is expecting you to populate it with data that means whatever you like it to mean.

There are a few things to know:

• All objects are at /api/objects/{id}
• id is a required field. It is how fakeserver finds the objects
• All objects are internally represented and returned as strings for both keys and values
• A GET to an ID will print the JSON representation of the object
• A POST to /api/objects will save the object in memory and return the JSON representation of the object
• A PUT to /api/objects/{id} will update the object at that location with the data sent (fields removed are not preserved)
• A DELETE to /api/objects/{id} will remove the object at that ID from memory

Populate the fakeserver

curl 127.0.0.1:8080/api/objects -X POST -d '{ "id": "1", "name": "Foo"}'
curl 127.0.0.1:8080/api/objects -X POST -d '{ "id": "2", "name": "Bar"}'
curl 127.0.0.1:8080/api/objects -X POST -d '{ "id": "3", "name": "Baz"}'

Rename an object

This example changes the name of 'Baz' to 'Biz'

curl 127.0.0.1:8080/api/objects/3 -X PUT -d '{ "id": "3", "name": "Biz"}'

Delete an object

This example just deletes the object with id=3

curl 127.0.0.1:8080/api/objects/3 -X DELETE
