Inquirer CLI

plugin-inquirer-cli​

The Mocks Server main distribution includes the inquirer-cli plugin preinstalled. It provides an interactive CLI that allows to change the server settings while it is running, displays server logs, etc.

Usage​

If you are using this plugin (enabled by default), you don't need to provide all your desired options using the configuration file or command line arguments when starting the server. The CLI allows to change settings while the server is running.

npm run mocks

Interactive CLI

Options​

  • cli: <String> Start interactive CLI or not. Default is true. Use false to disable it.

Alerts​

The plugin will display mocks-server alerts on the top of the screen. This is very useful when you are changing routes or mocks files and any file contains an error.

Alerts are displayed as:

Interactive CLI alerts

info

As Mocks Server includes hot reloading, the alert will automatically disappear when the error is fixed.

Support​

The Inquirer library is used for displaying the interactive CLI. You can consult its OS Terminals support here.
