Learn the fastest way to set up an API Mock server using an API Gateway. Create mocks while you build out your services.

March 28, 2022

Zuplo is so fast and flexible, it is the easiest way to setup a mock API. Here we create a simple todo API (of course 🤦🏼‍♂️). We add our 'sleep' policy to make it slow too - so you can call this from your UI client and simulate long loading times.

Length: 2 minutes

Here's the code for the request handler:

TypeScriptts
import { ZuploContext, ZuploRequest } from "@zuplo/runtime";

export default async function (request: ZuploRequest, context: ZuploContext) {
  return [
    { text: "Learn Javascript", done: false },
    { text: "Learn Typescript", done: false },
    { text: "Play around in Zuplo", done: true },
    { text: "Build something awesome", done: true },
  ];
}

Have fun, APIFiddling!
