Administration REST API

plugin-admin-api​

The main distribution includes the plugin-admin-api plugin, which provides a REST API that allows to change dynamically the current behavior, change delay time, and another Mocks Server options .

This is very useful when running acceptance tests, as you can change the behavior of the api simply with a request in your tests before method, for example.

A client for the administration api is also distributed as a separated package: @mocks-server/admin-api-client.

Options​

  • adminApiPath: <String> Path for the administration api. Default is "/admin". You should change it only in case there is any conflict with the api you are mocking.
  • adminApiDeprecatedPaths - <Boolean> Disables the deprecated "/mocks" api path, which is still enabled by default due to backward compatibility. Used as command line argument, you can disable it using --no-adminApiDeprecatedPaths (Read the command-line-arguments chapter for further info)
