Mock API Response Policy

Returns example responses from the OpenAPI document associated with this route.

Configuration

The configuration shows how to configure the policy in the 'policies.json' document.

Code
{ "name": "my-mock-api-inbound-policy", "policyType": "mock-api-inbound", "handler": { "export": "MockApiInboundPolicy", "module": "$import(@zuplo/runtime)", "options": { "contentType": "application/json", "exampleName": "example1", "random": false } } }

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).
  • handler.options <object> - The options for this policy. See Policy Options below.

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).
  • exampleName <string> - Specify the name of the example to select. If not specified, the first matching response is used (or random).
