Introduction

Mokapi has two types of configuration:

  • The startup configuration (referred as the static configuration)
  • The dynamic configuration (e.g. OpenApi configuration)

Static configuration sets up the providers which reads dynamic configurations. Dynamic configurations contains mock service like a REST API or a Kafka Topic. This configuration can change without restarting of Mokapi

Static Configuration

Elements in the static configuration don't often change and changes require a restart of the application.

There are three different ways to define a static configuration options.

  1. Configuration file
  2. Command-line arguments
  3. Environment variables

These ways are evaluated in the order listed above.

Configuration File

At first, Mokapi searches for static configuration in a file in:

  1. ./mokapi.yaml
  2. ./mokapi.yml
  3. /etc/mokapi.yaml
  4. /etc/mokapi.yml

You can override this:

mokapi --configFile=/foo/mokapi.yaml

MOKAPI_CONFIGFILE=/foo/mokapi.yaml
