GraphQL API Simulation

🎉 GraphQL API simulation is now available in MockForMe!

With the latest update, you can now create and run GraphQL APIs using MockForMe.

MockForMe allows you to simulate GraphQL API responses and create different scenarios for development and testing without waiting for the backend API to be completed, updated, or available.

GraphQL API simulation is available in:

  • MockForMe Chrome Extension version 14.8.0 or later
  • mockforme NPM package version 14.8.0 or later

Note: To use the latest GraphQL features, make sure you are using version 14.8.0 or later of the MockForMe Chrome Extension and the mockforme NPM package.

Create GraphQL APIs​

You can now create GraphQL APIs in MockForMe alongside your existing REST APIs.

MockForMe allows you to define GraphQL operations and configure responses based on your development and testing requirements.

You can create and simulate different API scenarios, including:

  • Successful responses
  • Error responses
  • Custom response data
  • GraphQL queries
  • GraphQL mutations
  • Different response scenarios

This allows frontend development and testing to continue even when the actual GraphQL backend is not ready or when you need to simulate a specific API behavior.

Run GraphQL APIs​

Once you have created a GraphQL API, you can run GraphQL operations using MockForMe.

You can execute GraphQL queries and mutations and simulate the responses required for your application.

This makes it easier to test how your application behaves with different API responses and scenarios.

MockForMe allows you to simulate API behavior without requiring changes to your existing application integration.

Simulate GraphQL Responses​

GraphQL API simulation allows you to control the responses returned for your GraphQL operations.

You can create different scenarios to simulate how your application behaves under various API conditions.

For example, you can simulate:

  • A successful API response
  • An error response
  • Different response data
  • Empty responses
  • Multiple testing scenarios

This gives developers more flexibility when building and testing applications that depend on GraphQL APIs.

GraphQL Queries and Mutations​

MockForMe supports GraphQL operations, including queries and mutations.

You can create and run GraphQL operations and configure the response data required for your development or testing scenario.

This allows you to simulate the API behavior your application expects without depending on the availability of the actual backend service.

Use GraphQL API Simulation with MockForMe DevTool​

The latest version of MockForMe DevTool includes support for GraphQL operations.

You can work with GraphQL API requests directly from the DevTool and simulate the responses required for different development and testing scenarios.

This gives you greater control over GraphQL API behavior while working directly in your browser.

REST and GraphQL API Simulation​

MockForMe now supports API simulation for both REST and GraphQL APIs.

You can use MockForMe to create different API scenarios and simulate the responses required by your application.

Whether your application uses REST APIs, GraphQL APIs, or both, MockForMe helps you simulate API behavior during development and testing.

Update to Version 14.8.0 or Later​

To start using GraphQL API simulation, update MockForMe to version 14.8.0 or later.

Chrome Extension​

Update your MockForMe Chrome Extension to version 14.8.0 or later.

NPM Package​

Update the mockforme NPM package to the latest version:

npm install mockforme@latest
