Supported field types: string, number, integer, boolean, object, array Base data types (string, number, integer, Boolean) through configuration example attribute to specify the generated response value, random return not configured. Here is a jsonschema example:

{
"properties":{
"field0":{
"example":"abcd",
"type":"string"
},
"field1":{
"example":123.12,
"type":"number"
},
"field3":{
"properties":{
"field3_1":{
"type":"string"
},
"field3_2":{
"properties":{
"field3_2_1":{
"example":true,
"type":"boolean"
},
"field3_2_2":{
"items":{
"example":155.55,
"type":"integer"
},
"type":"array"
}
},
"type":"object"
}
},
"type":"object"
},
"field2":{
"items":{
"type":"string"
},
"type":"array"
}
},
"type":"object"
}

Here are the return objects that might be generated by this jsonschema:

{
"field1": 123.12,
"field3": {
"field3_1": "LCFE0",
"field3_2": {
"field3_2_1": true,
"field3_2_2": [
155,
155
]
}
},
"field0": "abcd",
"field2": [
"sC"
]
}

How To Enable#

Here, use route as an example (service is used in the same way) to enable the mocking plugin on the specified route.

curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"methods": ["GET"],
"uri": "/index.html",
"plugins": {
"mocking": {
"delay": 1,
"content_type": "application/json",
"response_status": 200,
"response_schema": {
"properties":{
"field0":{
"example":"abcd",
"type":"string"
},
"field1":{
"example":123.12,
"type":"number"
},
"field3":{
"properties":{
"field3_1":{
"type":"string"
},
"field3_2":{
"properties":{
"field3_2_1":{
"example":true,
"type":"boolean"
},
"field3_2_2":{
"items":{
"example":155.55,
"type":"integer"
},
"type":"array"
}
},
"type":"object"
}
},
"type":"object"
},
"field2":{
"items":{
"type":"string"
},
"type":"array"
}
},
"type":"object"
}
}
},
"upstream": {
"type": "roundrobin",
"nodes": {
"127.0.0.1:1980": 1
}
}
}'

Test Plugin#

the mocking plugin is configured as follows:

{
"delay":0,
"content_type":"",
"with_mock_header":true,
"response_status":201,
"response_example":"{\"a\":1,\"b\":2}"
}

Use curl to access:

$ curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/test-mock -i
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
...
Content-Type: application/json;charset=utf8
x-mock-by: APISIX/2.10.0
...

{"a":1,"b":2}

Disable Plugin#

When you want to disable this plugin, it is very simple, you can delete the corresponding JSON configuration in the plugin configuration, no need to restart the service, it will take effect immediately:

curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"methods": ["GET"],
"uri": "/index.html",
"upstream": {
"type": "roundrobin",
"nodes": {
"127.0.0.1:1980": 1
}
}
}'

This plugin has been disabled now. It works for other plugins.
