What are the differences between Axios Mock Adapter and other mocking tools?

Axios Mock Adapter is specifically designed for Axios, allowing you to mock requests easily. Other tools like Jest or nock can also mock HTTP requests but may require more setup.

Can you give me an example of how to use Axios Mock Adapter?

Sure! You can create an instance of Axios Mock Adapter and use it to mock a GET request like this:

import axios from 'axios';
import MockAdapter from 'axios-mock-adapter';

const mock = new MockAdapter(axios);
mock.onGet('/users').reply(200, [{ id: 1, name: 'John Doe' }]);

How does it compare to using Jest for mocking?

Jest is a testing framework that includes mocking capabilities, but it doesn't specialize in HTTP requests. Axios Mock Adapter is more straightforward for mocking Axios requests specifically.

Are there any limitations to using Axios Mock Adapter?

Yes, it only works with Axios and may not cover all scenarios like intercepting requests made by other libraries.
