THIS IS A WIP, USE UNDER YOUR OWN RISK!

restless is a magic mocked API generator from json schemas. Let me explain myself:

1. you have some url routes that you want to mock.
2. you know the schema of what's going to be returned.

For the point 1, if you want your handlerhere: /api/v1/people/1, then you just need to do this:

$ mkdir -p api/v1/people/1

Now, if in that folder you have an schema.json, restless will serve a mocked object for you. Let's see it with an example:

I am pretty sure you know this example. We are going to be serving a url /people/1 with it:

$ mkdir -p people/1
$ cat << EOF > people/1/schema.json
{
  "title": "Example Schema",
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "firstName": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "lastName": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "age": {
      "description": "Age in years",
      "type": "integer",
      "minimum": 0
    }
  },
  "required": ["firstName", "lastName"]
}
EOF

Now you can run restless:

$ restless
2015/11/20 00:14:58 GET endpoint registered: /people/1
2015/11/20 00:14:58 Listening :8080

And query your shinny API!

$ curl -i localhost:8080/people/1
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
Date: Thu, 19 Nov 2015 23:15:56 GMT
Content-Length: 69

{"age":545,"firstName":"Mella et","lastName":"Hi calidum ipsa coram"}%

We are using glide for the dependency management, please do so.

If you are running this in development mode I will recommend you to use gin:

$ gin run

• Organize the code properly and split the huge method.
• Support more verbs than GET.
• Support more types, a difficult one will be array.
• Support more properties from json schema, ex: minimum.
