Exprecho - Node.js echo server

Exprecho is lightweight cross-platform echo server based on node.js express framework. This server can be useful for frontend/mobile developers for request testing.

Getting Started

1 - Clone repo using $ git clone [email protected]:JohanWillfred/exprecho.git

2 - Install dependencies using $ npm install or $ yarn

3 - Run server using $ npm start or $ yarn start.

Also you can run server with $ node bin/www. By-default server will be available on http://localhost:3000

If you need to change port from 3000 to another - run server using $ PORT=PORT_NUMBER node bin/www (replace PORT_NUMBER)

Now you have echo server on your machine.

Usage

There are 3 routes.

1. /echo
2. /echo/headers
3. /echo/query First one will return you request body as response. Second one - request headers. Third - query parameters.

Each of them will log to your server console following request information:

• method
• headers
• cookies
• query (GET parameters)
• body

For testing you can use your browser: Go to http://localhost:3000/echo/query?test=yep. In your browser you will see {"test":"yep"} - that`s your GET request parameters. Also in your server console you'll see other information:

GET Request at:  2018-3-17 16:20
 
Request headers:  { host: 'localhost:3000',
  connection: 'keep-alive',
