Mirage: Detailed Overview & Metrics
MirageJS is a client-side API mocking library used for testing and development. It provides an intuitive API for defining mock HTTP endpoints, request fixtures, and response data. MirageJS is popular among developers as it eliminates the need for backend integration for testing purposes. It also allows you to simulate failures, test edge cases, and test your application's behavior under different network conditions.
Compared to other testing and mocking libraries such as Jest or Cypress, which have a broader scope, MirageJS specializes in mocking HTTP requests. Utilizing MirageJS can help speed up testing and prototyping, especially during the early stages of development.
