Introduction

Mockingbird Proxy is a powerful development tool acting as an intermediary between your frontend/backend and external APIs, automatically storing all API calls in JSON files.

Features

• Automatic Storage: Saves all API calls.
• Modify Responses: Customize API responses and status codes.
• Caching: Accelerates loading during development.
• Flexibility: Easily switch from cache to real responses.

Configuration

• Port and Path: Set the port and the path for saving JSON files.
• Integration: Modify the URL in development to use the proxy.

Getting Started

Mockingbird-Proxy is an effective tool for API mocking during application development. This guide will show you how to start using it.

Starting the Mockingbird-Proxy Application

Step 1: Starting the Application

1. Start the Mockingbird-Proxy application.
2. In the top right panel, find the option to change the port.
3. Choose the desired port and start the server.

Step 2: Configuration in Your Project

After starting the Mockingbird-Proxy server, redirect your API calls through the proxy.

For example, change:
https://my-backend.com/api/v1/blog/posts
to:
http://localhost:3000/https://my-backend.com/api/v1/blog/posts

Add http://localhost:3000/ as a prefix to your backend URL to use the mocking server.
