Callback Service Call
When the mock server gets a request after a while sends a request to the given url. This feature might be useful for 3rd API service which works with send notifications. I prepared case:
{
"request": {
"method": "GET",
"endpoint": "/gophers/01D8EMQ185CA8PRGE20DKZTGSR"
},
"callback": {
"request": {
"method": "GET",
"endpoint": "http://localhost:8089/v1",
"headers": {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
"body": "{\"test\": \"test\"}"
},
"delay" : "5s:10s"
},
"response": {
"status": 200,
"headers": {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
"body": "{\"data\":{\"type\":\"gophers\",\"id\":\"01D8EMQ185CA8PRGE20DKZTGSR\",\"attributes\":{\"name\":\"Zebediah\",\"color\":\"Purples\",\"age\":55}}}"
}
}
]
when request get by mock server after given delay, it will send request to "http://localhost:8089/v1"" As mentioned I prepared codes then it works.
Hello @guvense thanks for the idea, could you share a real use case for that purpouse, I understand what do you want to achive with this, but I'm not sure is a real problem to solve using mock server, so if you can explain a little bit more the use case would be great :D
Hello @aperezg, in my case when the mock server gets a request, it should push the event to Kafka. Because I try to mock a service which put request to queue and process request in order. Therefore mock server returns a response after some time it should push the event to kafka. At the same time, my real application listens to kafka.
Another case, some third-party application. notify the status of the request. It can be the status of a money transaction. I will give an endpoint to the mock server, after some delay mock server sends a request about the transaction. Therefore I can simulate it. We can also add sse service, pushing events to Kafka sending HTTP request anything in the callback field.
We need that as well. We are developing a payment system. We trigger another 3-rd party by HTTP call, and that API returns a callback to us. The structure of the configuration is precisely the same, as @guvense suggested.
