Top Ways to Mock your server for testing/building Angular Project

 #1. Using Proxy 

Add a file proxy.conf.json

{

  "/rest": {

    "target": "http://tca-test-ems.tca.local:8080",

    "secure": false,

    "changeOrigin": true,

    "logLevel": "debug",

     "headers": {

      "Authorization": "Basic ZW1zdmljcm06OTclb3BzY2sh"

      }

    }

}

Run angular CLI using ng serve --proxy-config proxy.conf.json

#2. Exposing a brand-new Node Server Fake API:

Install

npm install -g json-server

Add a folder "server" and add two files : server.js and db.json

const app = require('express')();

app.get('/tier2/malfunctionPortalServiceApi/getIapsListForUser', (req, res) => {

  res.json([

    { id: 1, name: 'Node Mock IAP' }

  ]);

});

app.listen(3000);

Run that server. js in a new powershell window in VS Code

$Host.UI.WriteLine("Running on $os")

{

    $runningLinux = $true

}

$Host.UI.WriteLine("Received token successful $token")

 

# Define headers properly (PowerShell expects a hash table)

    "Authorization" = "Bearer $token"

}

} else

{

    nslookup kvdmpprodae001.vault.azure.net

}

    curl -v -H "Authorization: Bearer $token" --trace-ascii trace.log https://kvdmpprodae001.vault.azure.net/secrets/<your-key-name>?api-version=7.3

    $Host.UI.WriteLine("End calling curl on https://kvdmpprodae001.vault.azure.net/secrets/<your-key-name>?api-version=7.3")

}

 

# Call Key Vault REST API

$Host.UI.WriteLine("Invoking the webrequest with the token received")

$response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://kvdmpprodae001.vault.azure.net/secrets/<your-key-name>?api-version=7.3" -Headers $headers

 

    $Host.UI.WriteLine("Now printing the vault access")

# Output response

$response.Content
