YMock: Mock API calls info
YMock is a Chrome add-on developed by roc that serves as a helpful tool for front-end developers during the process of refactoring and development. It allows developers to simulate backend API responses, improving efficiency and reducing the need for constant debugging.
One of the main features of YMock is its ability to provide real-time feedback on the interaction between the frontend and the simulated API, allowing developers to quickly identify and resolve any issues. Additionally, YMock allows developers to control the response time, enabling them to simulate various user scenarios and adjust the response rate accordingly.
YMock also offers seamless integration with Yapi, as it provides a one-click synchronization feature to extract request and response information. This streamlines the development process and ensures accurate simulation of API calls.
To further enhance the debugging process, YMock allows developers to configure a whitelist of websites for testing, preventing interference from other websites.
To use YMock, simply enable the interception switch, set the mock whitelist domain (without a trailing slash), and specify the interception interface URL. If the interception is unsuccessful, a simple page refresh should resolve the issue.
