[Question] How to skip certain URL (some URL use mock data and some still go to real API )?

[yanzou]

Hi team, thanks for this great tool!
I would like to ask a more detail question reguarding to the fake-response example:

Say I working a new feature work with a new API entry api/newFeature, so I would like mock only this new API entry:

xhook.before(function(request, callback) {
   swtich (request.url) {
      case 'api/newFeature': 
          callback({
             status: 200,
             text: JSON.stringify({ hello: 'world' }),  // mock data, so I have to wait for API team's code
                ...
          });
         break;

       default: 
          ???    // <------- how can I let other URL by passed and get real API resonse ?
          break;
   }
});

I think what you need is the next function provided by the connect repository.

xhook is fully supported, you have two options depending on the xhook.before mock response type

1. return response

xhook.before(function (request) {
	switch (request.url) {
		case "api/newFeature":
			return {
				status: 200,
				text: JSON.stringify({ hello: "world" }), // mock data, so I have to wait for API team's code
			};

		default:
			// next, will fetch external link
			return;
	}
});

2. callback response

xhook.before(function (request, callback) {
	switch (request.url) {
		case "api/newFeature":
			callback({
				status: 200,
				text: JSON.stringify({ hello: "world" }), // mock data, so I have to wait for API team's code
			});

		default:
			// next, will fetch external link
			callback();
	}
});

The callback function I use is very easy to use: fetch external link
