Swagger Faker

Swagger Faker is a tool which can help you generate fake data from your swagger.json file, then it will start a mock server automatically with the generated fake data.

How to Use

1. Install

npm i swagger-faker -g

2. Init config file by command:

swagger-faker init

Then it will generate a config file swagger-faker.config.json in current path, update that config file:

{
  "sourcePaths": ["./source/openapi.json"],
  "outputFolder": "mock-server",
  "timeout": 180000,
  "port": 8081
}

• sourcePaths: required, put your swagger/openapi file path here
• outputFolder: optional
• timeout: optional,
• port: optional

3. Generate fake data

swagger-faker gen

4. Start the mock server

swagger-faker run

Examples

git clone https://github.com/reeli/swagger-faker-examples.git
cd  swagger-faker-examples
npm install
npm start

Then you’ll see:

1. A mock-server folder has been generated in your current path, and all mock data is setting in mock-server/data folder, you can customize them if needed.
2. A mock server has been started in http://localhost:8081, you can open your browser and visit one of the mock API by http://localhost:8081/api/v2/store/order/1 (The mock data is setting in: mock-server/data/getOrderById.json)
