Run web clients without backends by mocking HTTP requests

Run web clients without backends by mocking HTTP requests

During development, often times front-end devs have to wait for the back-end devs to offer an API to work on. Even after the API is given, if the front-end team wants a different set of data to work on, they again need to wait for the changes to be made and hosted. We, front-end developers resort to techniques like storing the data in a variable or using mock API’s.

To overcome this, we are working on a browser extension Interceptor, which lets you define your own response, and everytime the browser requests data from a particular URL, returns you with mock data instead of, from the server.

This blog post Interceptor : Your Own Mock Server inside the browser makes things much more clear.
