Json-server: long running operations

[franciscocpg]

Is there a way for simulate (forcing) a long running operation?

Hi @franciscocpg,

Sure, you can use --delay option when starting json-server

# Will add a 5 seconds delay to responses
json-server db.json --delay 5000

Or with Chrome DevTools, you can simulate slow networks (3G, EDGE, ...).

And finally, you can use the project as a module if you want to tune specific routes:

var jsonServer = require('json-server')

var server = jsonServer.create()

server.use(jsonServer.defaults())

// Add a delay to /posts requests only
server.use('/posts', function(req, res, next) {
  setTimeout(next, 5000)
})

var router = jsonServer.router('db.json')
server.use(router)

server.listen(3000)

hi @typicode.
Thanks for your answer.
In fact I want to simulate for a specific route, so the last solution you provided is what I want.

You're welcome :)

is it possible to use the timeout per route? I tried this but it didn't work

server.post('/my/route', function(req, res, next) {
    setTimeout(next, 10000)
    res.jsonp({})
})

but that didn't actaully delay the reponse

Hi @joshuaswilcox

This should do the trick

server.post('/my/route', function(req, res, next) {
    setTimeout(() => res.jsonp({}), 10000)
})

Ah yes, of course! Thanks
