Full fake REST API generator.
This project is heavily inspired by json-server, written with rust.
Our first aim is to generate a fake api from the given data source (JSON). It may have bugs, missing features but if you contribute they all will be fixed.
Version CHANGELOG
git clone https://github.com/serayuzgur/weld.git
cd weld
cargo runExecutable can take configuration path otherwise it will use default ./weld.json. If we take project folder as root, commands should look like one of these. If you you use cargo build --release version change debug with release.
./target/debug/weld
./target/debug/weld weld.json
./target/debug/weld <path_to_config>.json
./target/release/weld
./target/release/weld weld.json
./target/release/weld <path_to_config>.jsonConfiguration file is a very simple json file which is responsible to hold server and database properties.

}Here the owner and posts are tables. They can be empty arrays/objects but they must exist as is.
NOTE : id: Column is a must, all parsing uses it.
Api usage is pretty simple. For now it does not support filters one other query params. Here is the list of the calls you can make with examples.
- Get List <host>:<port>/<table> GET
- Get Record <host>:<port>/<table>/<id> GET
- Insert Record <host>:<port>/<table> POST
- Update Record <host>:<port>/<table>/<id> PUT
- Delete Record <host>:<port>/<table>/<id> DELETE
- Get Nested <host>:<port>/<table>/<id><field>/<id>... GET

}Give the API consumer the ability to choose returned fields. This will also reduce the network traffic and speed up the usage of the API.

-
offset: Index of the first element returned by the request.
-

-
count: Total number of elements in the collection.
-
-
Accept-Range resource max.
-
resource: The type of pagination. Must remind of the resource in use, e.g: client, order, restaurant, …
-
max : Maximum number of elements that can be returned in a single request.
- Allow ascending and descending sorting over multiple fields.
- Use sort with underscore as
_sort. - In code, descending describe as
-, ascending describe as+.
GET /cars?_sort=-manufactorer,+model
- Add
_filterquery parameter and continue with field names,operations and values separated by,. - Pattern
_filter=<fieldname><operation><value>. - Supported operations.
=equal!=not equal<less<=less or equals>greater>=greater or equals~=like|=in (values must be separated with|
GET http://127.0.0.1:8080/robe/users?_filter=name=seray,active=true
