# Test API Server Setup

## Overview

The Test API Server provides mock endpoints for testing the Daily Notification Plugin's network functionality, including ETag support, error handling, and content fetching.

## Quick Setup

```bash
# Navigate to test-api directory
cd test-apps/test-api

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Start server
npm start
```

## Integration with Test Apps

### Update Test App Configuration

Add the API base URL to your test app configuration:

```typescript
// In your test app's config
const API_CONFIG = {
  baseUrl: 'http://localhost:3001', // Adjust for platform
  endpoints: {
    content: '/api/content',
    health: '/health',
    error: '/api/error',
    metrics: '/api/metrics'
  }
};
```

### Platform-Specific URLs

- **Web/Electron**: `http://localhost:3001`
- **Android Emulator**: `http://10.0.2.2:3001`
- **iOS Simulator**: `http://localhost:3001`
- **Physical Devices**: `http://[YOUR_IP]:3001`

## Testing Workflow

1. **Start API Server**: `npm start` in `test-apps/test-api/`
2. **Start Test App**: Run your platform-specific test app
3. **Test Scenarios**: Use the test app to validate plugin functionality
4. **Monitor API**: Check `/api/metrics` for usage statistics

## Available Test Scenarios

### Content Fetching
- Basic content retrieval
- ETag conditional requests
- Content updates and caching

### Error Handling
- Network timeouts
- Server errors
- Rate limiting
- Authentication failures

### Performance Testing
- Concurrent requests
- Memory usage monitoring
- Long-running scenarios

## Next Steps

1. Start the API server
2. Configure your test apps to use the API
3. Run through the test scenarios
4. Validate plugin functionality across platforms
