​Policy Configuration

• name <string> - The name of your policy instance. This is used as a reference in your routes.
• policyType <string> - The identifier of the policy. This is used by the Zuplo UI. Value should be mock-api-inbound.
• handler.export <string> - The name of the exported type. Value should be MockApiInboundPolicy.
• handler.module <string> - The module containing the policy. Value should be $import(@zuplo/runtime).

​Policy Options

The options for this policy are specified below. All properties are optional unless specifically marked as required.

• random <boolean> - Indicates whether the response should be selected randomly, from the available examples (that match any filter criteria). If false the first matching example is used. Defaults to false.
• responsePrefixFilter <string> - Specifies a prefix to match the responses to select from. Typically this is a status code like "200" or "2XX". If you want the policy to select randomly from all 2XX codes, set this property to "2" and random to true.
• contentType <string> - Specify the content-type of the response to select from. If not specified, the first matching response is used (or random).
