Random Data Generation
Switchboard provides a templating engine which you can use to generate random data in mock service responses by embedding placeholders in the template using {{placeholder}} notation.
The following is an example to demonstrate how to use templating.
Input Template Example
{
"NamePrefix": "{{NamePrefix}}",
"NameSuffix": "{{NameSuffix}}",
"FirstName": "{{FirstName}}",
"LastName": "{{LastName}}",
"Gender": "{{Gender}}",
"SSN": "{{SSN}}",
"Hobby": "{{Hobby}}",
}
Output
{
"NamePrefix": "Miss",
"NameSuffix": "IV",
"FirstName": "Liliana",
"LastName": "Jerde",
"Gender": "male",
"SSN": "265866522",
