native-hw-action-server

A simple server that can be commanded to perform various mouse actions. It was built as a last resort to execute mouse actions for e2e tests with cypress, as the events would not work on the target application.

Usage

Start the server with cargo run or build and run the binary. The server will listen on port 8080 by default. Parameters are optional.

cargo run -- --port 8080 --ip 127.0.0.1

Endpoint

The server has a single endpoint that accepts POST requests. The endpoint is /action and the request body should be a JSON object with the following structure:

POST /mouse-actions

{
  actions: [
    { MouseMove: [start.x, start.y] },
    { MouseDown: 'Left' },
    { MouseMove: [end.x, end.y] },
    { MouseUp: 'Left' },
  ],
  delay_between: 1000,
}

The actions array can contain any number of actions, and the delay_between parameter is optional. It will add a delay between each action in the array.
