To define a **conditional response**, set a `request` object on the mock definition. The `request` value acts as a query - the response defined will only be returned if each property of the `request` query matches. For example, return an XML response *only* if the request headers include `accept: application/xml`, else return 404 Not Found.

#### RESTful Resource example
Here's an example of a REST collection (users). We'll create two routes, one for actions on the resource collection, one for individual resource actions.
```json
{
"mocks": [
{ "route": "/users", "module": "/mocks/users.js" },
{ "route": "/users/:id", "module": "/mocks/user.js" }
]
}
```
Define a module (`users.json`) defining seed data:
```json
[
{ "id": 1, "name": "Lloyd", "age": 40, "nationality": "English" },
{ "id": 2, "name": "Mona", "age": 34, "nationality": "Palestinian" },
{ "id": 3, "name": "Francesco", "age": 24, "nationality": "Italian" }
]
```
The collection module:
```js
const users = require('./users.json')
/* responses for /users */
const mockResponses = [
/* Respond with 400 Bad Request for PUT and DELETE - inappropriate on a collection */
{ request: { method: 'PUT' }, response: { status: 400 } },
{ request: { method: 'DELETE' }, response: { status: 400 } },
{
"route": "/users",
"module": "/mocks/users.js"
/* for GET requests return a subset of data, optionally filtered on 'minAge' and 'nationality' */
request: { method: 'GET' },
response: function (ctx) {
ctx.body = users.filter(user => {
const meetsMinAge = (user.age || 1000) >= (Number(ctx.query.minAge) || 0)
const requiredNationality = user.nationality === (ctx.query.nationality || user.nationality)
return meetsMinAge && requiredNationality
})
}
},
{
/* for POST requests, create a new user and return the path to the new resource */
request: { method: 'POST' },
response: function (ctx) {
const newUser = ctx.request.body
users.push(newUser)
newUser.id = users.length
ctx.status = 201
ctx.response.set('Location', `/users/${newUser.id}`)
}
}
]
module.exports = mockResponses
```
The individual resource module:
```js
const users = require('./users.json')
/* responses for /users/:id */
const mockResponses = [
/* don't support POST here */
{ request: { method: 'POST' }, response: { status: 400 } },
/* for GET requests, return a particular user */
{
request: { method: 'GET' },
response: function (ctx, id) {
ctx.body = users.find(user => user.id === Number(id))
}
},
/* for PUT requests, update the record */
{
request: { method: 'PUT' },
response: function (ctx, id) {
const updatedUser = ctx.request.body
const existingUserIndex = users.findIndex(user => user.id === Number(id))
users.splice(existingUserIndex, 1, updatedUser)
ctx.status = 200
}
},
/* DELETE request: remove the record */
{
request: { method: 'DELETE' },
response: function (ctx, id) {
const existingUserIndex = users.findIndex(user => user.id === Number(id))
users.splice(existingUserIndex, 1)
ctx.status = 200
}
}
]
module.exports = mockResponses
```
