Match request by method, URL params, query string, headers, cookies and bodies.
Mock definitions hot replace (edit your mocks without restart)
Web interface to view requests data (method,path,headers,cookies,body,etc..)
Stateful behaviour with scenarios
Verifying
Proxy mode
Fine grain log info in web interface
Real-time updates using WebSockets
Priority matching
Crazy mode for failure testing
Public interface auto discover
Lightweight and portable

Example

Mock definition file example:

{
	"request": {
		"method": "GET",
		"path": "/hello/*"
	},
	"response": {
		"statusCode": 200,
		"headers": {
			"Content-Type":["application/json"]
		},
		"body": "{\"hello\": \"{{request.query.name}}, my name is {{fake.FirstName}}\"}"
	}
}

Or

---
request:
  method: GET
  path: "/hello/*"
response:
  statusCode: 200
  headers:
    Content-Type:
    - application/json
  body: '{"hello": "{{request.query.name}}, my name is {{fake.FirstName}}"}'

You can see more complex examples here.

Getting started

Either:

Run it from Docker using the provided Dockerfile or from Docker Hub

docker image pull jordimartin/mmock
docker run -v YOUR_ABS_PATH:/config -p 8082:8082 -p 8083:8083 jordimartin/mmock

Or run mmock locally from the command line. (Requires Go 1.8 at least)

go get github.com/jmartin82/mmock/...
mmock -h

To configure Mmock, use command line flags described in help.

    Usage of ./mmock:
	  -config-path string
		Mocks definition folder (default "execution_pathconfig")
	  -console
		Console enabled  (true/false) (default true)
	  -console-ip string
		Console server IP (default "public_ip")
	  -console-port int
		Console server Port (default 8082)
 	  -request-storage-capacity int
		Request storage capacity (0 = infinite) (default 100)
	  -results-per-page uint
		Number of results per page (default 25)
	  -server-ip string

Request

A core feature of Mmock is the ability to return canned HTTP responses for requests matching criteria.

host: Request http host. (without port)
method: Request http method. It allows more than one separated by pipes "|" Mandatory
path: Resource identifier. It allows :value matching. Mandatory
queryStringParameters: Array of query strings. It allows more than one value for the same key.
headers: Array of headers. It allows more than one value for the same key. Case sensitive!
cookies: Array of cookies.
body: Body string. It allows * pattern. It also supports regular expressions for field values within JSON request bodies.

In case of queryStringParameters, headers and cookies, the request can be matched only if all defined keys in mock will be present with the exact or glob value.

Glob matching is available for:

host
path
headers
cookies
query strings
body

Query strings and headers support also global matches (*) in the header/parameter name. For example:

		"headers": {
			"Custom-Header-*": [
				"partial val*"
			]
		}

Regexp matching is available for:

body
query strings

See https://pkg.go.dev/regexp/syntax for regexp syntax

Response (Optional on proxy call)

statusCode: Response status code
headers: Array of headers. It allows more than one value for the same key and vars.
cookies: Array of cookies. It allows vars.
body: Body string. It allows vars.

Callback (Optional)

This is used to have mmock make an API request after receiving the mocked request.

delay: Delay before making the callback
url: URL to make a request to
method: Request http method
headers: Array of headers. It allows more than one value for the same key.
body: Body string. It allows vars.
timeout: Duration to allow the callback to respond (default 10s)

Control (Optional)

scenario; A scenario is essentially a state machine whose states can be arbitrarily assigned.
proxyBaseURL: If this parameter is present, it sends the request data to the BaseURL and resend the response to de client. Useful if you don't want mock a the whole service. NOTE: It's not necessary fill the response field in this case.
delay: Delay the response. Simulate bad connection or bad server performance.
crazy: Return random server errors (5xx) in some request. Simulate server problems.
priority: Set the priority to avoid match in less restrictive mocks. Higher, more priority.
webHookURL: After any match if this option is defined it will notify the match to the desired endpoint.

Variable tags

You can use variable data in response. The variables will be defined as tags like this {{nameVar}}

URI
description

Request data: Use them if you want to add request data in your response.

request.scheme
request.hostname
request.port
request.path (full path)
request.path."key"
request.query."key"
request.cookie."key"
request.fragment
request.url (full url with scheme, hostname, port, path and query parameters)
request.authority (return scheme, hostname and port (optional))
request.body

You can extract information from the request body too, using a dot notation path:

request.body."key" (support for application/json, application/xml and application/x-www-form-urlencoded requests)
request.body."deep"."key" (support for application/json, application/xml requests)

Quick overview of the path syntax available to extract values form the request: https://github.com/tidwall/gjson#path-syntax

You can also use "regex" and "concat" commands to complement GJson query:

request.body."deep"."key".regex() (support for application/json, application/xml requests)
request.body."deep"."key".concat() (support for application/json, application/xml requests)
request.body."deep"."key".regex().concat() (support for application/json, application/xml requests)

Example request data:

{
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "age": 4,
  "uuid":"^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-4[0-9a-f]{3}-[89ab][0-9a-f]{3}-[0-9a-f]{12}$",
  "discarded": "do not return"
}

Example config mock data:

{
  "email": "{{request.body.email.regex((\@gmail.com))}}",
  "age": {{request.body.age}},
  "uuid": "{{request.body.uuid.regex(\b([0-9a-zA-Z]{4})\b).concat(-878787)}}",
  "discarded": "{{request.body.discarded.concat(, Please!)}}"
}

Example response data:

{
  "email": "",
  "age": 4,
  "uuid": "2307-878787",
  "discarded": "do not return, Please!"
}

External streams: Perfect for embedding big payloads or getting data from another service.

file.contents(FILE_PATH)
http.contents(URL)

Fake data: Useful to provide a more rich and random response.

fake.Brand
fake.Character
fake.Characters
fake.CharactersN(n)
fake.City
fake.Color
fake.Company
fake.Continent
fake.Country
fake.CreditCardVisa
fake.CreditCardMasterCard

fake.Zip
fake.Int(n) - random positive integer less than or equal to n
fake.IntMinMax(min, max) - random positive number greater or equal to min and less than max
fake.Float(n) - random positive floating point number less than n
fake.UUID - generates a unique id

Scenarios

With the scenarios you can simulate a stateful service. It's useful to create test doubles.

A scenario is a state machine and you can assign an arbitrarily state.

When mmock recieve a new request and there is an scenario defined in the matching mock, mmock checks if the mock is valid for the current state. Also a new scenario state can be set after the mock match.

By default all scenarios has the state "not_started" until some mock triggers a new one.

Example of REST services using scenarios:

Working examples here

API Specification

MMock uses the Open API Specification (OAI, formerly known as Swagger) to describe its APIs. Our OAI specification schema is hosted at /swagger.json and serves as the canonical definition and comprehensive declaration of all available endpoints.

The OAI specification makes writing client applications easier by: auto-generating boilerplate code (like data object classes) and dealing with authentication and error handling.

You can find a comprehensive set of open tools for the OAI specification at: https://github.com/swagger-api.

REST Endpoints

Verify

The Mmock records the incoming requests in memory (last 100 by default). This makes it possible to verify that a request matching a specific pattern was received, and also to fetch the requests details.

Title : Get all requests.
URL : /api/request/all
Method : GET
Response Codes: Success (200 OK)

Title : Get all matched requests with any mock.
URL : /api/request/matched
Method : GET
Response Codes: Success (200 OK)

Title : Clean all recorded request.
URL : /api/request/reset
Method : GET
Response Codes: Success (200 OK)

Title : Reset all requests that match with an specific pattern.
URL : /api/request/reset_match

URL : /api/request/unmatched
Method : GET
Response Codes: Success (200 OK)

Title : Get all requests that match with an specific pattern.
URL : /api/request/verify

URL : /api/mapping/:uri
Method : PUT
Response Codes: Success (200 OK)

Title : Delete mock definition.
URL : /api/mapping/:uri
Method : DELETE
Response Codes: Success (200 OK)
)

Realtime Endpoints

Also there is a real time endpoint available through WebSockets that broadcast all requests.

Title : Get all requests.
URL : /echo

Output

All endpoints have the same output format:

[
  {
    "time": 1486563983,
    "request": {
      "host": "192.168.20.209",
      "method": "GET",
      "path": "/hello",
      "queryStringParameters": {},
      "headers": {
        "Accept": [
          "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8"
        ]
      },
      "cookies": {},
      "body": ""
    },
    "response": {
      "statusCode": 200,
      "headers": null,
      "cookies": {
        "visit": "true"
      },
      "body": "Hello world!"
    },
    "result": {
      "match": true,
      "errors": null
    }
  }
]

Statistics

Mmock is collecting anonymous statistics about the usage of the following actions:

Source code: /statistics/statistics.go

requests.mock: Mocks served (number)
requests.console: Web console usage (number)
requests.verify: Verify requests (number)
feature.scenario: Mocks with scenario feature served (number)
feature.proxy: Mocks with proxy feature served (number)

You can always disable this behavior adding the following flag -server-statistics=false
