Discussion: Network Plugin - Add checkbox for enabling a "starts with" match on mocks

[bizzguy]

Currently a mock route is identified with a key of "http method" and "url".

I'm suggesting that an additional matching method be added.

The API I'm currently using as some extraneous qualifiers at the end that I would like to ignore.

For example. The API might look like this:

https://www.example.com/query/product?id=123&page=2&other=7
https://www.example.com/query/product?id=123&page=3&other=9

I would really like the mocks to ignore the parameters at the end so that I would define the mock as

https://www.example.com/query/product?id=123

And then enable a "startsWith" checkbox. Mocking would then only match on the beginning of the url. So any api staring with the string would match.

Another idea would be to define the url with a regular expression (as an option).

Would this feature be interesting/useful to anyone?

@mweststrate It would be really nice if we have an option to use regular expressions to specify URLs for mocking

Any news on this issue? Some wildcard character or similar? Regex? Other workarounds around the issue? At the moment I have to mock an API with current timestamp in query parameter so I can't mock the call at all unless I can ignore the value of the timestamp

I have the same issue with Flipper version 0.254.0. I want to mock the URL regardless of its query parameters.
