mockapi.kill is not a function

[bondarewicz]

having following gulp file

var gulp = require('gulp');
var api = require('gulp-json-srv');

gulp.task('mock-api-start', function () {

  api.start({
        data: 'db.json',
        port: 3004
    });

});

gulp.task('mock-api-stop', function() {
  api.kill();
});

and calling mock-api-stop after mock-api-start task I get

gulp mock-api-stop
[12:18:01] Using gulpfile gulpfile.js
[12:18:01] Starting 'mock-api-stop'...

package.json contains "gulp-json-srv": "^0.2.0",

UPDATE I guess it needs to be below ?

var mockApi = jsonServer.start({
        data: 'db.json',
        port: 3004,
    });

and then mockApi.kill();

@bondarewicz Yes, you're right with update - you need to obtain running server instance after you started it using jsonServer.start(...) and then use that instance's method kill() to kill it. Honestly, it's confusing naming, and I'm preparing new version that will fix it.
