  • if your backend is via REST, then you could use a simple [json-server](https://github.com/typicode/json-server) - this is very basic and can be started prior to e2e (e.g. in protractor's `beforeLaunch` callback) – Ovidiu Dolha May 30 '17 at 10:21

  • An example auto-starting and auto-stopping mocks with node express during e2e tests: https://stackoverflow.com/a/45638832/786389 – Josh Hibschman Aug 11 '17 at 15:39

The best way to mock you API's with an Angular 2 app is with ng-Apimock. As far as I know the only plugin on the market now that can support local development as well as E2E-testing.

I'm using it in a Angular 2 app for a customer and it works like a charm. There are enough doccs / plugins to get it working with for example grunt, gulp, Anguler-CLI, Angular-seed and so on.

Hope it helps you
