express mockjs api middleware for Express
$ npm install --save-dev express-mockjs
- Create a directory
api-server
, then create the fileapp.js
, the content is:
var path = require('path')
var express = require('express')
var mockjs = require('express-mockjs')
var app = express()
// Use the default path '/' (Not recommended)
// app.use(mockjs(path.join(__dirname, 'mocks')))
// Use a custom path '/api'
app.use('/api', mockjs(path.join(__dirname, 'mocks')))
// Here you can add any code.
app.listen(3000);
- Create a
mocks
directory underapi-server
and createdata.json
as follows:
/**
* api interface description
*
* @url /test-api
*/
{
"code": 0,
"result|5": [
{
"uid|+1": 1,
"name": "@name",
"email": "@email"
}
]
}
- Install dependent modules
$ npm i -S express express-mockjs
- Start
$ node app.js
# or
$ nodemon app.js
You can then access the http://localhost:3000/api to view API documents.
Recommended using nodemon to monitor auto restart services

Mock JSON
here is not a real JSON file, and more like a JS file, so you want to use the following format.
Hypothetical file in 'mocks/home/test.json'
/**
* Interface function description
*
* @url /api-access-path
*
* Parameter description and other instructions.
* uid: user ID
* name: username
* email: the email
* etc.
*/
{
"code": 0,
"result|5": [
{
"uid|+1": 1,
"name": "@name",
"email": "@email"
}
]
}
Then you can access the http://localhost:3000/api/api-access-path through the browser.
Of course, you can also use the JS file directly.
/**
* home page links
*
* @url /home-links
*
* Here you can write a detailed description
* of the parameters of the information.
*/
module.exports = {
"code": function () { // simulation error code, 1/10 probability of error code 1.
return Math.random() < 0.1 ? 1 : 0;
},
"list|5-10": [
{"title": "@title", "link": "@url"}
]
};
Or export function.
/**
* user page - user info
*
* @url /user?uid=233
*
* GET: Request method and parameter
* uid This is the requested userID
*
* Here you can write a detailed description
* of the parameters of the information.
*/
module.exports = function (req) {
var uid = req.query.uid;
if (!uid) {
return {
code: -1,
msg: 'no uid',
}
}
return {
code: 0,
data: {
"uid": +uid,
"name": "@name",
"age|20-30": 1,
"email": "@email",
"date": "@date",
},
};
};
