simple-http-mock

NodeJS simple mock module used to mock http responses and optionaly proxy them to other host.
It can be used as middleware constructor, or standalone http/https server.
Basic usage: Add your mocks to mocks directory, start mock server and debug http requests/responses.

##Install
Clone repository
``bash
$ npm install simple-http-mock --save-dev
`

##API
`js
var simpleMock = require('simple-http-mock');
`

$3

$3

Returns array of middlewares, which can be used in your app.

#### Options

simpleMock accepts these properties in the options object.

#### mocksDir

Directory where you place your mocks.

#### server

And object with http/https server options.

`js
// EXAMPLE: create http and https server
server: {
httpPort: 3000,
httpsPort: 3443,
privateKey: "sslcert/server.key",
cert: "sslcert/server.crt"
}

##Creating mocks
###Simple mock
Create json file in mocks folder
`js
{
"method": "post",
"uri": "/a/b",
"status": 403,
"response": {
"answer": "ok"
},
"headers": [
{
"name": "Myheader",
"value": "Myvalue"
},
{
"name": "Anything-else",
"value": "More values"
}
],
"cookies": [
{
"name": "mycookie",
"value": "something"
}
]
}
`
###Advanced mock
You can create your own mock function using NodeJS and express framework.

Mock function is a Express middleware, which will receive params:

req - object with request information

res - object with response

next - function, which must be called if you wish to pass request to other middlewares.

Just put your module to mocks directory.

Example module:

`js
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();

router.route('/mock/:id1')
.get(function(req, res, next){
res.json({answer: 'not ok'});
})
.post(function(req, res, next){
console.log('This is PUT middleware:', req.url);
next();
});

module.exports = router;
