`angular-mock-record`

v1.6.4 Angular 4+ Protractor ISC

Mocks and records HTTP requests for Angular / Protractor — VCR-style fixtures for fast, deterministic e2e tests.

What it does

Mock API responses in Protractor specs with a simple client utility
Record real traffic to fixture files (VCR-style tapes) for replay
Configure domain, headers, recording directory, and param normalization
Optional CI mode that fails when unexpected new recordings appear

Install

npm install angular-mock-record

Quick config

Add a mock.record.config.json at the root of your Angular app:

{
  "domain": "http://your.api.domain",
  "port": 3000,
  "cors": false,
  "tape_name": "vcr",
  "proxied_mock_server_route": "/e2e",
  "request_headers": ["X-XSRF-TOKEN", "cookie"],
  "recording_dir": "./e2e/mocks",
  "allow_recording": false,
  "exclude_params": [],
  "normalize_params": []
}

Mock in a Protractor spec

import { MockUtilities } from 'angular-mock-record/client/mock.utilities';

beforeAll(() => {
  mockUtilities.mockRequest('path/yourRequest.json', { foo: 'bar' });
});

afterAll(() => {
  mockUtilities.clearMocks();
});

`socketObject`

Node.js Socket.io Multiplayer MelonJS-friendly

Framework for action-based multiplayer games on Node.js and Socket.io — host/slave networking from the client, entity sync via a shared socket object structure, and position interpolation to smooth latency.

Highlights

Extend game entities with socketObjectEntity.js to pass them as socket objects
Host / slave model — host is clientid == 0 (open a port on the host machine)
Position interpolation to compensate for network latency
Works with MelonJS-style entity inheritance; adaptable to other engines

Core pieces

socketObjectEntity.js — base entity with defineSocketObjectStructure, socketInit, and updateSocketEntity
socketClient.js — client-side wiring to add hosted objects and keep state in sync
Host-only behavior logic; slaves receive interpolated position / animation state

`nvidia-shield-controller`

Windows NVIDIA Shield Taskbar utility

`tupelo-zwave`

Z-Wave Tupelo Raspberry Pi React Native

Smart-home access stack on OpenZWave and Tupelo — pair Z-Wave locks, run a host app on a Raspberry Pi, and let guests unlock via a React Native app with ChainTree-backed user IDs.

Highlights

OpenZWave integration for pairing and controlling Z-Wave devices
Host app on Raspberry Pi (Node server + UI at localhost:3000)
Guest app for Android / iOS via React Native — lock and unlock with a userId code
Tupelo ChainTree storage for guest identity and valid keys

Setup snapshot

Install and compile OpenZWave; set NetworkKey in options.xml
Pair devices with zwave.addDevice(true) from the Node server REPL
Start the host with npm start in host-app; guests use guest-app

Local Express static server for the app shell
Optional FTP client dependency for alternate upload targets

Highlights

MelonJS client with TMX maps, tilesets, audio, and classic exploration structure
Node/Express server with Socket.io for live player and enemy state
Host assigns client IDs and broadcasts keypress / position data across sessions
Pairs naturally with the socketObject networking approach
