Add MSW plugin for API mocking in testing and development

[Copilot]

Implements Mock Service Worker integration for ObjectStack, enabling browser and Node.js API mocking without server infrastructure.

Implementation

New Package: @objectstack/plugin-msw

• MSWPlugin - Runtime plugin implementing automatic handler generation for all ObjectStack endpoints
• ObjectStackServer - Simplified mock API for common CRUD operations
• Auto-generates handlers for discovery, metadata, data, and UI protocol endpoints

Example Package: @objectstack/example-msw-demo

• Browser standalone usage pattern
• Runtime integration pattern

Usage

Browser Mode (standalone):

import{setupWorker}from'msw/browser';import{http,HttpResponse}from'msw';import{ObjectStackServer}from'@objectstack/plugin-msw';ObjectStackServer.init(protocol);consthandlers=[http.get('/api/user/:id',async({ params })=>{constresult=awaitObjectStackServer.getUser(params.id);returnHttpResponse.json(result.data,{status: result.status});})];exportconstworker=setupWorker(...handlers);

Runtime Integration:

constkernel=newObjectStackKernel([newMSWPlugin({baseUrl: '/api/v1',logRequests: true})]);

Endpoints Mocked

• /api/v1 - Discovery
• /api/v1/meta[/:type[/:name]] - Metadata access
• /api/v1/data/:object[/:id] - CRUD operations (GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE)
• /api/v1/ui/view/:object - UI protocol

Original prompt

新增插件，支持 msn

// mocks/browser.js
import { setupWorker, rest } from 'msw';
import { ObjectStackServer } from '../server/mock-db';

// 1. 初始化模拟服务端
ObjectStackServer.init();

// 2. 定义路由处理器 (Handlers)
// 这就像是 Express/Koa 的路由定义，但运行在 Service Worker 中
const handlers = [

// 拦截 GET /api/user/:id
rest.get('/api/user/:id', async (req, res, ctx) => {
const { id } = req.params;

// 调用本地逻辑
const result = await ObjectStackServer.getUser(id);
// 返回构建的 Response
return res(
ctx.status(result.status),
ctx.json(result.data)
);

}),

// 拦截 POST /api/user
rest.post('/api/user', async (req, res, ctx) => {
const body = await req.json();

// 调用本地逻辑
const result = await ObjectStackServer.createUser(body);
return res(
ctx.status(result.status),
ctx.json(result.data)
);

}),
];

// 3. 创建 Worker 实例
export const worker = setupWorker(...handlers);

The onStop lifecycle method is not part of the RuntimePlugin interface. The interface only defines optional install and onStart methods (see packages/runtime/src/types.ts). This method will never be called by the kernel and represents dead code. Consider removing it or extending the RuntimePlugin interface to include an onStop hook if this functionality is needed.

Suggested change

	asynconStop(){
	if(this.worker){
	this.worker.stop();
	console.log(`[MSWPlugin] Stopped MSW worker.`);
	}

The mock protocol object uses TypeScript any type casting without proper error handling or type checking. This could lead to runtime errors if the protocol methods are not properly implemented. Consider creating a proper mock that implements the expected protocol interface or using a testing library to create type-safe mocks.

Suggested change

	constmockProtocol={
	getData: async(object: string,id: string)=>{
	return{ id, object,name: `Mock ${object}`,status: 'active'};
	},
	createData: async(object: string,data: any)=>{
	return{id: 'new-id', ...data};
	},
	// Add other methods as needed
	}asany;
	interfaceMockProtocol{
	getData(object: string,id: string): Promise<unknown>;
	createData(object: string,data: unknown): Promise<unknown>;
	}
	constmockProtocol: MockProtocol={
	getData: async(object: string,id: string)=>{
	return{ id, object,name: `Mock ${object}`,status: 'active'};
	},
	createData: async(object: string,data: unknown)=>{
	return{id: 'new-id', ...dataasRecord<string,unknown>};
	},
	// Add other methods as needed
	};

Using Array<any> for handler types weakens type safety. MSW provides specific handler types (e.g., RequestHandler from 'msw') that should be used instead. This would provide better type checking and IDE support for consumers of this API.

Using Array<any> for the handlers property weakens type safety. Consider using a more specific type like RequestHandler[] from MSW to provide better type checking.

Using any type for the worker weakens type safety. Consider importing and using the proper type from MSW (e.g., SetupWorker from 'msw/browser') to provide better type checking and IDE support.

Suggested change

	private worker: any;
	privateworker: ReturnType<typeofsetupWorker>|null=null;

The error handling pattern here catches errors and returns a 404 status, but the getData method in ObjectStackServer.getData already handles errors and returns a response object with status and data. This creates a double error handling that could mask the original error. The outer try-catch may be unnecessary since ObjectStackServer.getData already handles errors internally.

Suggested change

	try{
	constresult=awaitObjectStackServer.getData(
	params.objectasstring,
	params.idasstring
	);
	returnHttpResponse.json(result.data,{status: result.status});
	}catch(error){
	constmessage=errorinstanceofError ? error.message : 'Unknown error';
	returnHttpResponse.json({error: message},{status: 404});
	}
	constresult=awaitObjectStackServer.getData(
	params.objectasstring,
	params.idasstring
	);
	returnHttpResponse.json(result.data,{status: result.status});

The plugin name 'msw' is inconsistent with the naming pattern used in other ObjectStack plugins. For example, HonoServerPlugin uses 'com.objectstack.server.hono' (reverse domain notation). Consider using a similar pattern like 'com.objectstack.msw' or 'com.objectstack.plugin.msw' for consistency across the codebase.
