ditto

Yaml powered service mocking server for HTTP and Thrift protocols.

Usage

ditto is powered entirely by the YAML config file it reads. A basic config that mocks a simple HTTP based service with one endpoint could look like this:

---
http:
- port: 8081
  endpoints:
  - uri: "/get"
    method: "GET"
    status: 200
    body: "OK"
    latency:
      min: 10
      max: 50

This will bind to port 8081 and respond to GET requests to /get with an HTTP status code of 200 and a body that contains OK. Each call to the mock will take somewhere within 10 to 50 milliseconds.

A more complete default config.yml is located in the root directory. Each protocol is separated out into its own YAML document. This is mandatory to correctly load each protocols mock. The current YAML structure is also mandatory. If a field is missing, the system will not work.

Different Config File

The file ditto reads can be overridden by setting the ditto.config-file property to a different file path.

How it works

Each protocol is located in a sub project and implements the Responder trait in ditto-core settings its protocol field to match the yaml root level YAML key. The ditto-core project uses a ServiceLoader to dynamically load all protocols and give them the correct YAML document to parse and start service mocks.

Both ditto-http and ditto-thrift use finagle to create the mocks, but that is not a requirement. Anything that listens to a port on its own thread will work correctly.
