How do I set up a mock API for testing?

To set up a mock API, you can use tools like Postman, Mockoon, or create a simple server with Node.js.

Can you show me an example using Node.js?

Sure! You can use Express to create a simple mock API. Here's a basic example:

const express = require('express');
const app = express();

app.get('/api/data', (req, res) => {
    res.json({ message: 'This is mock data!' });
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
    console.log('Mock API running on http://localhost:3000');
});

What if I want to mock different endpoints?

You can define multiple routes in your Express app. Just add more app.get() or app.post() methods for each endpoint.

Are there any tools that can help automate this process?

Yes, tools like Swagger and Postman can help you define and automate mock APIs based on your API specifications.
