# MochAPI

This is a simple mock api.

# Installing

Simply run

```
npm install mochapi -g
```

# Usage

You need to create your own JSON fixture file in following format

```
{
 "URL": {
  "METHOD": {
    "response": // your response,
    "status": STATUS_CODE // 200 by default
  }
 }
}
```

When you created the file, just point it to mapi

```
mapi fixtures.json
```

It will start an api server on your local host simply
visit http://localhost:9000/_mapi/ and see the parsed fixtures file.

You can also configure it to run on different port by providing
port number after the fixture file

```
mapi fixtures.json 8080
```

Will run the app on port 8080

# Contributing
To start development first checkout the library

```
git clone https://github.com/redbeacon/mapi
```
and you need to install the dependencies

```
cd mapi
npm install
```

In order to compile the code you need to install TypeScript
```
npm install typescript -g
```

Now that you have all the dependencies just go into `mapi` folder and run typescript compiler

```
tsc
```

Typescript is configured to do everything automatically, you don't need to provide any arguments to the command.
