How can I set up a mock server using Cypress?

To set up a mock server in Cypress, you can use the cy.intercept() command to define your API routes and responses.

Can you give me an example of how to use cy.intercept()?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

cy.intercept('GET', '/api/users', [{ id: 1, name: 'John Doe' }]).as('getUsers');
cy.visit('/');
cy.wait('@getUsers');

What if I want to mock a POST request?

You can mock a POST request similarly:

cy.intercept('POST', '/api/users', { statusCode: 201, body: { id: 2, name: 'Jane Doe' }}).as('createUser');

Is there a way to simulate a delay in the response?

Yes! You can use the delay option in cy.intercept() to simulate a delay:

cy.intercept('GET', '/api/users', { delay: 1000, body: [{ id: 1, name: 'John Doe' }] });
