bimedia-front-server

Bimedia Front-end test server.

features :

  • serve static assets
  • static data fixtures
  • http method to resource mapping
  • proxied data
  • custom test routes

Example :

var server = require('./test-server');
var path = require('path');

var PORT = 9090;

server({
    fixtures : {
        path : path.join(__dirname, './fixtures'),
        prefix : 'api'
    },
    'static' : {
        path : path.join(__dirname, './src')
    }
}).listen(PORT, function () {
    console.log('test server listening on port %d', PORT);
});

This example create a server listening on port 9090 that will serve any static resource availiable in src subfolder. It will also serve JSON data availiable in fixtures folder for every request with the path starting with api.

static assets

Serve files in static.path like any http server.

fixtures

The server tries to find a matching ressource in the filesystem in path denoted by config fixtures.path.

Example:

GET /api/auth/token

will serve file :

$cwd/auth/token.json

method mapping

For any http method other than GET, it will append method name in lowercase at the end of requested uri.

Example:

POST /api/auth/token

will serve file :

$cwd/auth/token-post.json

proxied data

Fixtures can be retrieved from an url. The test server serves proxy data.

Example :

var server = require('./test-server');
var path = require('path');

var PORT = 9090;

server({
    fixtures : {
        url : 'http://my.remotehost.com/fixtures',
        prefix : 'api'
    },
    'static' : {
        path : path.join(__dirname, './src')
    }
}).listen(PORT, function () {
    console.log('test server listening on port %d', PORT);
});

multiple fixtures sources

Fixtures can be retrieved from more than one location, both locally or remotely.

Example :

var server = require('./test-server');
var path = require('path');

var PORT = 9090;

server({
    fixtures : [{
        url : 'http://my.remotehost.com/fixtures',
        prefix : 'api/params'
    },
    {
        path : path.join(__dirname, './fixtures'),
        prefix : 'api'
    }
    ],
    'static' : {
        path : path.join(__dirname, './src')
    }
}).listen(PORT, function () {
    console.log('test server listening on port %d', PORT);
});

custom test routes

Add custom route and logic with routes method.

server({
    fixtures : {
        path : path.join(__dirname, './fixtures'),
        prefix : 'api'
    },
    'static' : {
        path : path.join(__dirname, './src')
    }
}).routes(function (router) {
    router.get(/api\/([0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2})/, function (str) {
        this.res.writeHead(200, {
            'Content-Type': 'text/plain'
        });
        this.res.end(str);
    });
}).listen(PORT, function () {
    console.log('test server listening on port %d', PORT);
});
