HttPlaceholder - Quickly stub away any HTTP service
HttPlaceholder lets you stub away any HTTP webservice. HttPlaceholder:
- can easily be installed on your dev PC.
- can be used to easily create stubs, either as separate YAML files, through the API or through the user interface.
- can easily be hosted on any server.
- can use many different HTTP condition checkers and response writers to make your HTTP stubs as specific as you need.
Getting started
Let's take a look at a short demo.
1. Install HttPlaceholder
2. Create a stub
Create a new .yaml file (e.g. stub.yaml).
Copy and paste these contents in
your new file:
- id: situation-01
conditions:
method: GET
url:
path:
equals: /users
query:
id:
equals: 12
filter:
equals: first_name
response:
statusCode: 200
json: |
{
"first_name": "John"
}3. Start HttPlaceholder
Open the terminal in the folder you've added the stub.yaml file and run the following
command: httplaceholder. HttPlaceholder will now start and will load the stubs in the
current folder.
4. Perform a call to HttPlaceholder
Perform a specific HTTP call to HttPlaceholder so your provided response will be returned.
curl "http://localhost:5000/users?id=12&filter=first_name" -D-
wget -qSO - "http://localhost:5000/users?id=12&filter=first_name"
iwr "http://localhost:5000/users?id=12&filter=first_name"
http "localhost:5000/users?id=12&filter=first_name"
