Tool for pushing multiple objects from an array to an API

This tool can be used to send multiple requests to an API. Each reqest sends data from a predefined array.

Example use cases

• API testing
• data migration

Requirements

Node version >= 18.16.0

Usage

• create a folder in the project root directory to store all related files for example pusher
• create frodo.settings.js file in the root project directory

module.exports = {
    comments: {,
        outputDirectory: 'Directory to store output files',
        saveDirectory: 'Directory to store save files',
    },
    outputDirectory: './pusher/output/',
    saveDirectory: './pusher/save/',
};

• start sending requests using

npx frodo .\pusher\config\sample.config.json .\pusher\data\sample.data.json
