QuickREST

When you need an API endpoint, fast!

QuickREST is a convenient tool for quickly mocking API endpoints when you don't have them readily available.

How It Works

Here's a simple guide on how to use QuickREST:

1. Define Endpoints: Begin by creating a YAML file with definitions for your desired endpoints. Specify the address and routes as follows:

addr: localhost:8090

routes:

- path: GET /api/1/articles/{id}
  status: 200
  body: |
    {
        "items": [
            {
                "id": {id},
                "headline": "QuickREST is a hot new thing"
            }
        ]
    }

2. Run the CLI: Execute the QuickREST CLI against the configuration file:

quickrest -c quickrest.yml

That's it! You now have a basic REST API server up and running, ready to serve your mocked endpoints.

Installation

Just clone this repository and run:

go install ./...

This would compile and place quickrest binary in your $GOPATH/bin.

Key Features

• Rapid Mocking: Quickly create mocked API endpoints.
• YAML Configuration: Define endpoints easily using YAML syntax.
• Simple CLI: Run QuickREST with a straightforward command-line interface.

Templating

QuickREST supports two kinds of templating: basic and JavaScript. Basic templating allows you to insert URL parameters inside the response body like so:

routes:

- path: GET /hello/{name}
  body: |
    Hello, {name}!

The JavaScript templating feature enables you to create complex responses:

routes:

- path: GET /api/1/users/{user_id}/notifications
  body_js: |
    var result = [];

    for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
        result.push({
            "id": parseInt(user_id) + i,
            "user_id": parseInt(user_id),
            "description": "You got mail!"
        });
    }

    result;

In the JavaScript templating example, you can utilize JavaScript code to dynamically generate the response body. This allows for more flexibility in crafting responses based on dynamic data or complex logic.
