This would add a bit of complexity, but looking at the code base I could imagine the following would be possible to enable this use case. I believe this would benefit Linux/Mac as well since the file names for this scenario could be pretty unwieldy and plus the json could be re-used for something else (e.g. a test).

Use a new special character -- '@' after the method which is legal within a file name for all file systems as far as I know. The part between the '@' and 'mock' within the same directory would be the a JSON file with the payload.

|--path/to/file
|--|[email protected]
|--|--payload.json

Contents of payload.json

{
    "data": {
        "index" : 0,
        "max": 25
   },
   "sortBy": ["name"]
}

Would be willing to take a stab as this library is pretty cool and potentially quite useful, but at the same time this is gap is a real limitation.

@joshmorel feel free to have a crack at it! :)

@artsyca let us know if this works on win (can't test it at the moment) -- if so, we should merge it :)

Cheers!

I'm trying it on Windows, and it doesn't work. That's correct ? I need to do that on linux ? I want to use the external file.

Hello, can I have some info on this issue. Is this going to be supported ? I saw that the pull request of @joshmorel (#44) was not merged and the whole item closed for inactivity. Is the plan to adapt his work as a new pull request ? Or is there another way of implementing this ?

Hi @birdmod no plans yet, but we'd be happy to review any PR that comes this way 😄
