Response Faker Gem

The response_faker gem provides a way to generate fake responses for third-party calls using JSON files. It dynamically creates methods based on the JSON files in the lib/response_faker/responses/ directory, and automatically reloads these responses when files are added or modified.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'response_faker'

And then execute:

bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

gem install response_faker

Usage

Setup

1. Create JSON Response Files

   Place your JSON files in the lib/response_faker/responses/ directory. Each file should contain a valid JSON object. The filename will be used to create a class with corresponding methods.

   Example JSON file (lib/response_faker/responses/example_response.json):

   {
     "example_method_1": "This is a fake response.",
     "example_method_2": "Another fake response."
   }

2. Load Responses

   The gem automatically loads all JSON files from the responses directory when it's first initialized. The methods defined in these files will be available as class methods on the dynamically created classes.

   ResponseFaker::ExampleResponse.example_method_1 # => "This is a fake response."

Auto-Reload

The gem watches the lib/response_faker/responses/ directory for changes. If you add or modify any JSON files, the gem will automatically reload the responses and update the available methods.

Error Handling

If a JSON file is improperly formatted, the gem will skip that file and print an error message. Ensure that all JSON files in the directory are valid to avoid issues.
