EMS-ESP32/mock-api

(https://github.com/emsesp/EMS-ESP32/issues/41)

When developing and testing the web interface, it's handy not to bother with re-flashing an ESP32 each time. The idea is to mimic the ESP using a mock/stub server that responds to the REST (HTTP POST & GET) and WebSocket calls.

To set it up it do

% cd mock-api
% npm install
% cd interface
% npm install

and to run it

% cd interface
% npm run dev

Notes

• It's for local development only
• src/.env.development is no longer required
• CORS is removed, also the build flag
• new file interface/src/setupProxy.js
• new files mock-api/server.js with the hardcoded data. Requires its own npm packages for express

ToDo

• add filter rule to prevent from exposing yourself to malicious attacks when running the dev server(https://medium.com/webpack/webpack-dev-server-middleware-security-issues-1489d950874a)
