Request settings

Every rest.* factory accepts an optional third argument — settings. It is a quick way to configure common response behavior for a route without writing any resolver logic.

rest.get(path, config, settings);

Settings support two options:

Delay

Use delay to simulate a slow network. The response is held for the given number of milliseconds before it is sent.

rest.get('/users', [{ id: 1, name: 'John' }], {
  delay: 1000
});

Here every GET /users request resolves after a one-second delay. This is useful for testing loading states, spinners, and race conditions.

Status

Use status to control the HTTP status code of the response. By default a mocked response is sent with 200, but you can override it to describe errors or other outcomes.

rest.get(
  '/users',
  {
    error: 'Not Found'
  },
  {
    status: 404
  }
);

Here the route still returns the given payload, but the client receives it with a 404 status code.
