Django mock rest

Simple way to create static mock data at rest api endpoints in the Django admin.

If you’re designing a rest api client, and want to create a simple mock server for testing, then this app lets you do that using the Django admin.

Install

• Install using

pip install django-mock-rest

• Add django_mock_rest to installed apps in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
        ...
        'django_mock_rest',
        ...
]

• By default the mock service is available only in DEBUG mode. You can override this with DJANGO_MOCK_REST = True or False.

• Add the root url to url.py:

urlpatterns = [
        ...
        url(r'^api-mock/', include('django_mock_rest.urls')),
        ...
]

How to use

In the Django admin, you can create endpoints:

After that, you can do http(s) request to the endpoints you defined:

$ curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:8000/api-mock/post/1/
{
        "post": "Hello world"
}

You can also see an overview of all the mock endpoints (if logged in) by visiting ~, i.e. http://127.0.0.1:8000/api-mock/~.
