@StefH We have a huge data that need to be responded with and also this is been used by other mocks. Can we respond to a matching request with a file content?

Hello @raghavendrabankapur

This is not yet described in the Wiki (maybe I need to restructure the wiki), but you can use

BodyAsFile in the JSON mapping
or
in C# code:

/// <summary>
/// WithBodyFromFile : Create a ... response based on a File.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="filename">The filename.</param>
/// <param name="cache">Defines if this file is cached in memory or retrieved from disk everytime the response is created.</param>
/// <returns>A <see cref="IResponseBuilder"/>.</returns>
IResponseBuilder WithBodyFromFile([NotNull] string filename, bool cache = true);

@StefH in that case, the file name should be the full path of the file , or file should be placed somewhere the similar way of __admin/mappings.

As of now, you need to provide the full path. Maybe it's a good idea that the code can support both.

/// <inheritdoc cref="IBodyResponseBuilder.WithBodyFromFile"/>
public IResponseBuilder WithBodyFromFile(string filename, bool cache = true)
{
	Check.NotNull(filename, nameof(filename));

	ResponseMessage.BodyEncoding = null;
	ResponseMessage.BodyAsFileIsCached = cache;

	if (cache)
	{
		ResponseMessage.Body = null;
		ResponseMessage.BodyAsBytes = File.ReadAllBytes(filename);
		ResponseMessage.BodyAsFile = null;
	}
	else
	{
		ResponseMessage.Body = null;
		ResponseMessage.BodyAsBytes = null;
		ResponseMessage.BodyAsFile = filename;
	}

	return this;
}
