As web development evolves towards client-server architecture, frontend developers frequently face challenges due to delays in backend API implementations. While some propose full-stack development as a solution, API mocking has emerged as a superior method. This technique allows developers to simulate API responses, including error handling and status codes, leveraging tools like Chrome DevTools Local Overrides. This tutorial will dive into utilizing these overrides for API mocking, emphasizing bypassing CORS issues, and reviewing popular mocking libraries including Mock Service Worker (MSW) for enhanced development workflows.
API mocking has proven to be the most efficient solution to the common challenge of waiting for backend teams to implement new API endpoints.
API mocking allows frontend developers to simulate the responses and behaviors of a live API, facilitating smoother development processes.
