Schema

Chimera supports schema files as input to define mock API routes and auto-generate data.

• Directoryproject/

  • schema.json

Run chimera with schema.json

chimera-cli --path schema.json http -X

This runs chimera-cli as a mock http server at port 8080 using schema.json

Sample schema.json File

{
    "routes": [
        {
            "path":"api/v2/data",
            "no_of_entries": 2,
            "schema": {
                "id": "id",
                "created_on": "date",
                "mssg": "lorem"
            },
            "null_percentage": 5
        },
        {
            "path":"products",
            "no_of_entries": 3,
            "schema": {
                "id": "id",
                "rsnd": "integer",
                "name": "name",

                "date": "datetime",
                "desc": "lorem"
            },
            "null_percentage": 0
        }
