Importing and configuring

You can require node-testing-server and configure it like this:

let nodeTestingServer = require('node-testing-server').nodeTestingServer;

// Settings for node testing server
nodeTestingServer.config = {
    hostname: 'localhost',
    port: 3001,
    logsEnabled: 0,
    pages: {
        '/test.html': `<ul class="items">
                        <li>First</li>
                        <li>Second</li>
                        <li>Third</li>
                        <li>Fourth</li>
                        <li>Fifth</li>
                        <li>Sixth</li>
                        <li>Seventh</li>
                        <li>Eighth</li>

                        <li>Tenth</li>
                    </ul>`
    }
}

By default logs are disabled (logsEnabled is set to 0). You can set logsEnabled config to one of 3 levels:

• 0 - logs disabled
• 1 - partial logs are enabled - prints out:
  • incoming request METHOD, URL and outcoming response CODE
  • pages that were generated or served
• 2 - full logs are enabled - prints out:
  • incoming request METHOD, URL and outcoming response CODE
  • pages that were generated or served
  • incoming request headers
  • response time

Usage

Start and stop server like this:

// Start node testing server
nodeTestingServer.start();

// Stop node testing server
nodeTestingServer.stop();

You can see the live example of node-testing-server usage with Protractor tests here
