Flash (flash.siwalik.in)

A test service to mock slow server responses.

Description

Flash lets you simulate a slow server response, when you make a request. This can come handy while testing how your application responds to a slow external service or API.

Right now Flash supports only GET requests with configurable delay and URL parameters.

Using Flash is really easy. eg. On visiting https://flash.siwalik.in/delay/5000/url/api.github.com You'll be redirected to api.github.com's response after a 5000ms delay.

Request Structures

Delay Mode

https://flash-the-slow-api.herokuapp.com/delay/{delay_time}

Delay and URL Mode

https://flash-the-slow-api.herokuapp.com/delay/{delay_time}/url/{url}

Dev Setup

Running the app

$ git clone [e-mail]:siwalikm/Flash.git
$ cd Flash
$ npm install
$ npm start

Running tests

$ npm test

If you're using vs-code for development, I've already included the launch.json scripts for running app and test server in debug mode.
