How can I use Cypress for stubbing and mocking API requests?

You can use Cypress's cy.intercept() method to stub and mock API requests. This allows you to control the response.

Can you show me an example of how to stub a GET request?

Sure! You can use cy.intercept('GET', '/api/data', { fixture: 'data.json' }) to stub a GET request and return data from a fixture.

What if I want to mock a POST request instead?

For a POST request, you can use cy.intercept('POST', '/api/data', { statusCode: 201, body: { success: true } }) to mock a successful response.

Is there a way to verify that the request was made?

Yes! You can use cy.intercept() to listen for the request and then assert it with cy.wait('@alias') after setting an alias for the intercept.
