is there a way to run/debug the foxx microservice in development machine where ArangoDb is not present

[Vishwa Dany]

Hi,
I am writing a microservice using foxx framework; I have added more code to parse the data read from ArangoDb. Before deploying into ArangoDb server, I need to debug the code to verify the parsing logic; I have tried searching the way to run the foxx microservice locally, how I am unable to find resources related this

Thanks,
Vishwa

Hi,

Its always a good idea to use JSLint / JSHint / ESLint / JSCS to revalidate the source.

Its probably also a good idea to have complex parsing code in a library, and have unit tests that may test it without database connectivity or foxx dependencies.

This can then i.e. be ran inside arangosh as well.
