Fake_api

Overview

Fake API is an innovative tool designed to simplify the API prototyping process with real, dummy data. It streamlines the development and testing phases by providing developers with realistic data, rather than just random placeholders. This means you can prototype more efficiently and effectively, reducing the overhead typically associated with standard API development.

The gem features a syntax that's familiar to those who have worked with Rails, making it accessible for developers. By leveraging Faker for data generation, Fake API ensures that you can create and manage your APIs with accuracy while still having the flexibility to customize according to your project's needs.

Features

• Fast API Prototyping: Quickly set up APIs with real-looking data, speeding up your development workflow.
• Clear and Familiar Syntax: Utilizes a syntax similar to Rails routes and Factory Bot, making it easy to learn and implement.
• Data Generation with Faker: Integrates Faker to produce realistic test data, enhancing the reliability of your prototypes.
• Comprehensive Response Management: Manage cookies, sessions, and headers seamlessly with fake responses, improving testing accuracy.
• Real-time Factory Execution: Generates fresh and random data on-the-fly as you interact with your API, ensuring variability in responses.
• Standalone Mode: Offers the ability to run the gem as a standalone server, making it versatile for various development environments.
• Support for Multiple File Management: Organize your routing and factories across multiple files for better project structure and maintainability.
• Flexible Routing Methods: Utilize GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE methods to define routes easily and specify responses in various formats like JSON and XML.
