Turn a Postman collection into a runnable offline API

Setup

• npm install
• npm install snapstub -g (snazzy package that makes this all possible)

Taking a snapshot

• Drop an up-to-date *.postman_collection.json and *.postman_environment.json file into ./postman_apis
• Rename config.json.example to config.json and update with your filenames:

{
    "collectionFile": "./postman_apis/YOUR_COLLECTION.postman_collection.json",
    "environmentFile": "./postman_apis/YOUR_ENVIRONMENT.postman_environment.json"
}

• Run npm start and watch your API requests get downloaded into the __mocks___ folder (thanks, Snapstub!).

Running the offline API

• snapstub start to run your freshly updated offline API.

Point a client at http://127.0.0.1:8059 instead of your normal REST API url and start making offline requests!
