@mockyeah/server Configuration

The default configuration may be overridden by placing a .mockyeah (or .mockyeah.json) JSON file in root of your project and adding the key/value pairs that you wish to change. Also supports a .mockyeah.js as a Node module that exports a JavaScript object as the config.

Options

name

Used to identify the origin of logged output.

host

Host on which mockyeah will run.

port

Port on which mockyeah will run over HTTP (or use portHttps).

portHttps

Port on which mockyeah will run over HTTPS (instead of port).

httpsKeyPath

Optional file path to SSL key for custom certificates (instead of auto-generated).

httpsCertPath

Optional file path to SSL key for custom certificates (instead of auto-generated).

fixturesDir

Relative path to the fixtures directory.

suitesDir

Relative path to the suites directory.

output

Boolean to toggle mockyeah generated output written to stdout.

journal

Boolean to toggle request journaling. Example journaling output:

[mockyeah][14:54:21][REQUEST][JOURNAL] {
  "callCount": 1,
  "url": "/foo?bar=baa",
  "fullUrl": "http://localhost:4001/foo?bar=baa",
  "clientIp": "127.0.0.1",
  "method": "GET",
  "headers": {
    "host": "localhost:4001",
    "user-agent": "curl/7.43.0",
    "accept": "*/*"
  },
  "query": {
    "bar": "baa"
  },
  "body": {}
}

verbose

Boolean to toggle verbosity of mockyeah generated output.

start

Whether to start the server on instantiation (otherwise use start()).

proxy

Boolean to enable a proxy on startup.

The proxy will transparently forward all non-matching requests onto their original URL.

This enables working with real APIs by default but partially mocking responses for some requests.

Then you can hit your mockyeah server's URLs like: https://localhost:4001/https://api.example.com?foo=bar https://localhost:4001/https://service.example.com/foo/bar

and allow the first to pass through to the actual origin by not defining any mocks, but mock the second with:

mockyeah.get('https://service.example.com/foo/bar', {
  json: {
    hello: 'there'
  }
});

Internally, this mounts with a leading slash, i.e., '/https://service.example.com/foo/bar'.

noWebSocket

Boolean to disable automatic connection over WebSocket to talk to client-side @mockyeah/fetch.

record

Boolean to enable recording on startup.

latency

A default latency for all mock responses. Can override per mock.

watch

Boolean to enable watch more on startup. See watch().

responseHeaders

See @mockyeah/fetch Configuration responseHeaders.

suiteHeader

String for the header name to use to opt-in to suites dynamically.

suiteCookie

String for the cookie name to use to opt-in to suites dynamically.

adminServer

Boolean to enable admin server (for recording, playing, etc.)

adminHost

Host on which admin server will run.

adminPort

Port on which admin server will run.

recordToFixtures

Whether to record suites with response bodies written to separate files in the fixtures directory vs. inlined into the suite files.

recordToFixturesMode

When recordToFixtures is enabled, which mode to use to refer to fixture files

• "path" (default): Use the response option of fixture with the path to the fixture file as a string.
• "require": For JSON fixtures, use the response option of json with an inline require of the JSON file using a relative path, otherwise fallback to "path" mode (may support custom require-able files in the future for users with custom setups, e.g., Webpack loaders).

formatScript

To apply custom formatting to the JS in the suite files, specify a string path to a module (relative to mockyeah root near your config file) that exports a function of the signature (js: string) : string => {}. Or if using programmatically rather than a JSON config file, you can provide a function as a value directly.

aliases

See @mockyeah/fetch Configuration aliases.

modifyRequest

See @mockyeah/fetch Configuration modifyRequest.

groups

Instead of always typing out matches using --only or --only-regex, you can define them here, so that rather than:

mockyeah record --only-regex '/api/v(.*)/users' --only-regex '/api/v(.*)/posts)'

We can instead type:

mockyeah record --groups users,posts

Where we have those regexes defined in config as:

{
  "groups": {
    "users": "/api/v(.*)/users",
    "posts": "/api/v(.*)/posts"
  }
}

HTTPS

For HTTPS support, use the portHttps option. By default, this uses create-cert-files (based on selfsigned, used by webpack-dev-server, etc.), where it will initially auto-generate a self-signed cert within node_modules then continue to re-use that as long as it exists. Alternatively, to provide your own, you can pass config options httpsKeyPath and httpsCertPath relative to .mockyeah/MOCKYEAH_ROOT.
