mimic-remote
Sometimes you would want to use Mimic in a separate browser window. For example when you have multi-tab application or want to use Mimic with React Native or NativeScript.
To do this you will have to install Mimic remote server.
npm install -g mimic-remote
Once you have it installed, you have to run it.
# Running Mimic remote server
mimic-remote
# You can also run it under a different port (by default 5000)
mimic-remote -p 4000
The last step is connecting your application to mimic-remote.
# Importing mimic remote
import connect from 'mimic/remote';
# Connecting to Mimic remote server
connect()
# You can also configure a different host and port
connect({ host: 'localhost', port: 5000 })
Now you can navigate to http://localhost:5000 in your browser and start mocking.
It is important to note that Mimic will hold off all your application requests until you open Mimic in your browser.
This is a current limitation of the implementation to allow you to mock any request that goes out at the start of the application.
