IntroductionAn API mocking library to help prototype frontends applications without worrying about the backend.Often times UI developers find themselves wanting to build a UI only to realize they do not have a backend API with data. In these situations, developers use hard coded mock data stored in JSON files or even simple JS/TS files. This works initially, however, once the backend API is ready, the UI needs rewriting to account for the Promise based responses the API returns. This results in a gap to go from prototyping to production. PrototypedJS helps bridge this gap by creating a promise based API that developers can use instead of actual API calls. If done right, the application can be run in "DEV" mode and"PROD" mode where they use PrototypedJS in "DEV" mode and the actual API in "PROD".Bonus Tip: PrototypedJS can be used for mocking APIs in unit tests.
