Protractor plugin used to mock backend calls.

## Usage

1. Add NPM dependency to your `package.json`:

    

    ```bash

    npm install --save-dev protractor-backend-mock-plugin

    ```

2. [Add & Configure Protractor plugin](https://github.com/angular/protractor/blob/master/docs/plugins.md#using-plugins):

    

    ```javascript

    // protractor.conf.js

    exports.config = {

        plugins: [

            {

                package: 'protractor-backend-mock-plugin',

                // config

                backend: [8080, 'localhost'],

                fake: [9999, 'localhost']

            }

        ]

    }

    ```

3. Use [Nock](https://github.com/node-nock/nock) to mock results from `fake` server:

    

    ```bash

    npm install --save-dev nock

    ```

    

    ```javascript

    import * as nock from 'nock';

    beforeEach(() => {

      nock('http://localhost:9999').get(`/user/me`).reply(200, {id: 42, name: 'John Doe'})

    });

    ```

## How it works?

An [Express.js](http://expressjs.com) server is started locally, to intercept webapp calls.

In order to intercept and mock calls (using `nock`), request must be emitted inside NodeJS application.

So all request are redirected to another URL, defined by `fake` section.
