A command-line tool to generate mock REST APIs from OpenAPI/Swagger specifications. This tool helps frontend developers by providing realistic mock data based on your API specification.

• Generate mock REST APIs from OpenAPI 3.0/Swagger specifications
• Support for path parameters and query parameters
• Realistic mock data generation based on schema types and formats
• Built-in Swagger UI for API documentation
• CORS support for cross-origin requests
• Automatic handling of different response status codes

# Install globally
npm install -g @nazariazargul/api-mocker

# Basic usage
api-mocker -s path/to/openapi.yaml --port 3000

# Options
api-mocker --help

• --spec, -s: Path to OpenAPI specification file (default: './openapi.yaml')
• --port, -p: Port to run the mock server on (default: 3000)

The tool generates realistic mock data based on the OpenAPI schema:

• Strings: Random strings with format support (date, date-time, email, uri, uuid)
• Numbers: Random numbers within specified ranges
• Integers: Random integers within specified ranges
• Booleans: Random true/false values
• Arrays: 1-3 random items by default
• Objects: All properties mocked according to their schemas
• Enums: Random selection from specified values
• Patterns: Basic regex pattern support

1. Create an OpenAPI specification file (e.g., api.yaml):

openapi: 3.0.0
info:
  title: Sample API
  version: 1.0.0
paths:
  /users/{id}:
    get:
      parameters:
        - name: id
          in: path
          required: true
          schema:
            type: integer
      responses:
        '200':
          content:
            application/json:
              schema:
                type: object
                properties:
                  id:
                    type: integer
                  name:
                    type: string
                  email:
                    type: string
                    format: email

2. Run the mock server:

api-mocker -s api.yaml --port 3000

3. Access your mock API:

• API Endpoints: http://localhost:3000/users/123
• Swagger UI: http://localhost:3000/api-docs
