RAML to config converter or config syntax specification #6

Open nwwells opened 8 years ago

nwwells commented 8 years ago

This project looks awesome! Are there any plans to offer a RAML -> config conversion? If not, is there a specification or documentation on the config syntax?

Thanks,

The routes and dynamic stub configuration of a route are in the config.json file in the repo root, the stubs themselves are in the stubs/ folder. I will write a wiki explaining more about the configuration.

My hypothesis is that, it is easy to use the client interface at /mocknode to configure the server as this removes the need to restart the server on config changes.

Is there a reason that you choose to change the config.json files manually? Is it because , you have to add a lot of configuration and you find the process tedious?

Our API server documents it's interface in RAML, one of many ways to document a REST interface in a parseable way. My thought was to convert the RAML into the config file to give a starting point and then to build more config in the UI as necessary.

Ok, I will document the config as soon as I find some time.

Below are the places where the entire config is stored:
