Sample remoting for mocked Apex classes

Right now visualforce-sim javascript client requires jQuery

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.2.4.min.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/visualforce-sim/visualforce-sim-client.js"></script>
<script>
    function callback(data) {
        console.log(data);
        // Output will be [{name:"One",value:1},{name:"Two",value:2}]
    }
    Visualforce.remoting.Manager.invokeAction('ApexController.getList', callback, {escape:true});
</script>

Create a class in <web application project>/apex-remote/ApexController.js

var ApexController = (function () {
    function ApexController() {
    }
    ApexController.prototype.getList = function () {
        return [
            {name:"One", value:1},
            {name:"Two", value:2}
        ];
    };
    return ApexController;
}());
exports.default = ApexController;

Setting custom api base path

<script>
    ...
    Visualforce.remoting.Manager.serverApiBasePath = 'http://localhost:4000';
</script>
