## About

Module to create Mock API Backends for Angular 2, and if there is no handler found do a XHR.

## Installation

Install through npm:
```
npm install --save ng2-vs-backend
```

Import VSBackendModule in your module

```typescript
import {NgModule} from '@angular/core';
import {BackendService} from './backendservice';
import {VSBackendModule} from 'ng2-vs-backend';

@NgModule({
imports: [VSBackendModule],
providers: [
BackendService, // this extends BackendBaseService
]
})
export class YourModule {
constructor(backendService: BackendService) {
backendService.init(); // initialize now!
}
}
```

Extend BackendBaseService with your API declaration.

```typescript
import {BackendBaseService, ParsedRequest} from 'ng2-vs-backend';
import {Injectable} from '@angular/core';
import {MockBackend} from '@angular/http/testing';
import {
BaseRequestOptions,
ResponseOptions,
Headers,
XHRBackend,
RequestOptions,
} from '@angular/http';

@Injectable()
export class BackendService extends BackendBaseService {
constructor(
public backend: MockBackend,
public options: BaseRequestOptions,
public realBackend: XHRBackend
) {
super(backend, options, realBackend);
}

init(): void {
super.init();
// just return a value
let countries: any[] = [
{id: 1, label: 'Spain'},
{id: 2, label: 'France'},
];
this.addValue('GET', '/api/v1/countries', countries);

this.addValuePaginated('GET', '/api/v1/countries2', countries);

// handle request yourself, for example to update a country
backendService.addListener('POST', /\/api\/v1\/country\/(.*)/, (p: ParsedRequest, matches: string[]) => {
// matches is the result of the RegExp sent
let id: number = parseInt(matches[1], 10);

countries[id].label = p.body.label;

return new ResponseOptions({
status: 204
});
});
}
}

```

## Development

### Prepare your environment
* Install [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) and NPM (should come with)
* Install local dev dependencies: `npm install` while current directory is this repo

### Development server
Run `npm start` to start a development server on port 8000 with auto reload + tests.

### Testing
Run `npm test` to run tests once or `npm run test:watch` to continually run tests.

### Release
* Bump the version in package.json (once the module hits 1.0 this will become automatic)
```bash
