About

HttPlaceholder lets you stub away any HTTP webservice.

It was thought up while I was working at a company which had many interconnected webservices. The development process was very painful, because it meant all the other webservices should also be started on my local dev PC, or I had to use the "development" environment, which did not work for half of the time. HttPlaceholder fills this gap nicely.

HttPlaceholder:

  • can easily be installed on your dev PC.
  • can be used to easily create stubs, either as separate YAML files, through the API or through the user interface.
  • can easily be hosted on any server.
  • can use many different HTTP condition checkers and response writers to make your HTTP stubs as specific as you need.

Built With

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Linux, Windows and Mac are supported.

Installation

Follow these steps to install / update HttPlaceholder. If you update HttPlaceholder, make sure to read the changelog to see if there are no breaking changes.

Install on Windows

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dukeofharen/httplaceholder/master/scripts/Install-Windows.ps1'))

Install on Linux

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dukeofharen/httplaceholder/master/scripts/install-linux.sh | bash

Install on Mac

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dukeofharen/httplaceholder/master/scripts/install-mac.sh | bash

Docker

HttPlaceholder has a Docker image; it can be found here.

Run the following command to run a basic HttPlaceholder container: docker run -p 5000:5000 dukeofharen/httplaceholder:latest

Install as .NET tool

dotnet tool install --global HttPlaceholder

Example

  • Install HttPlaceholder (see Installation).
  • Create a new .yaml file (e.g. stub.yaml).
  • Copy and paste these contents in your new file:
- id: situation-01
  conditions:
    method: GET
    url:
      path:
        equals: /users
      query:
        id:
          equals: 12
        filter:
          equals: first_name
  response:
    statusCode: 200
    text: |
      {
        "first_name": "John"
      }
    headers:
      Content-Type: application/json
  • Open the terminal in the folder you've added the stub.yaml file and run the following command: httplaceholder. HttPlaceholder will now start and will load the stubs in the current folder.

  • Perform a specific HTTP call to HttPlaceholder so your provided response will be returned.

  • For Linux / Mac (cURL needs to be installed):
    curl "http://localhost:5000/users?id=12&filter=first_name" -D-
  • For Windows (uses Powershell):

    (Invoke-WebRequest "http://localhost:5000/users?id=12&filter=first_name").RawContent

  • You can view and inspect the performed requests in the user interface at http://localhost:5000/ph-ui.
