Mock API Server using flask

How to Deploy ?

Of course use Docker
>> docker-compose -f example.yml up -d

Integrate with Nginx

The client can add header X-Server-Select, the nginx will map to mock_server . You can find an example nginx.conf in the project root directory.

mock server archi


upstream mock_api {
    server 192.168.1.11:5001;
}

upstream api {
    server 192.168.1.11:5000;
}

map $http_x_server_select $api_pool {
     default "api";
     mock "mock_api";
}


server {
    listen 80 ;
    server_name _;
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://api_pool;
    }
}

How to mock data ?

  • Edit routes.cfg

    	[api]
    	prefix = /api
    	
    	
    	[routes]
    	/ping = json_files/ping.json
    	/users/<user_id> = json_files/example_user.json
    

    the first param is the API path , and the second is mocked json file path .

  • Put your mock json data in _static directory.

You'd better add a volume like example.yml if you're using docker .
