DuckRails GitHub version Build Status

DuckRails is a development tool.

Its main purpose is to allow developers to quickly mock API endpoints that for many possible reasons they can't reach at a specific time.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it's a duck :duck:

How it works

The application allows creating new routes dynamically to which developers can assign static or dynamic responses:

or even cause delays, timeouts etc.

Guides

The repository's wiki pages contain all you need to know.

You can find the old DuckRails' guides at my blog.

Advanced configuration

Upon save the route becomes available to the application and you can use the endpoint:

Request Headers

Supported response functionality

You can define static or dynamic responses for a mock.

Currently supported dynamic types are:

Embedded Ruby

When specifying dynamic content of embedded Ruby (more options to be added), you can read as local variables:

JavaScript

When specifying dynamic content of JavaScript type, you can read as local variables:

The script should always return a string (for JSON use JSON.stringify(your_variable))

Route paths

You can specify routes and access their parts in the @parameters variable, for example:

/authors/:author_id/posts/:post_id

give you access to the parameters with:

@parameters[:author_id]

@parameters[:post_id]

Quick setup (development environment)

Better setup (production environment)

Database configuration

The application is by default configured to use sqlite3. If you want to use another configuration, update the config/database.yml accordingly to match your setup.

Docker

A docker image is available at docker hub under iridakos/duckrails.

To obtain the image use:

docker pull iridakos/duckrails

To start the application and bind it to a port (ex. 4000) use:

docker run -p 4000:80 iridakos/duckrails:latest
