POST method not allowed

[tasinttttttt]

Hey there, Whenever I try a POST request, I get the "Method Not Allowed" message. Have I missed something in the configuration? or is local-web-server not intended to work with POST (as SimpleHTTPServer on python?).

Apart from that, thumbs up!

works fine with POST.. what are you doing exactly? can you send me some steps to reproduce?

@75lb I have the same issue while making a POST request like this "/api/v0/sendData.json". I want to have the mock to this request. If I use GET request, all fine. And as I can see (https://github.com/lwsjs/local-web-server/wiki/How-to-create-a-mock-response), the mocks were deprecated. How can I use POST requests now, if possible?

P.S. I found this article https://github.com/lwsjs/local-web-server/wiki/How-to-prototype-a-REST-API but not found an easier way to simply provide any files for POST requests.

Probably the most simple way to create a custom response is to create a quick middleware plugin..

Try this plugin:

class Example {
  middleware (config) {
    return async (ctx, next) => {
      if (ctx.request.path === '/login' && ctx.request.method === 'POST') {
        const { username, password } = ctx.request.body
        if (password === '123') {
          ctx.response.body = `Welcome ${username}`
        } else {
          ctx.response.body = `Wrong password`
        }
      }
      await next()
    }
  }
}

export default Example

Save it to example.js then launch it like this

$ ws --stack lws-log lws-body-parser tmp/example.js -f dev

Make some test requests..

$ curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/login -d '{ "username": "Lloyd" }' -H 'content-type: application/json'
Wrong password

$ curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/login -d '{ "username": "Lloyd", "password": "123" }' -H 'content-type: application/json'
Welcome Lloyd
