A CLI tool that mocks GraphQL APIs with realistic faked data based on GraphQL SDL, using @fake, @examples, and @listLength directives with no coding required. It can also proxy an existing GraphQL API and extend it with mock data mixed with real responses.

Use cases

• mock a graphql api before the backend exists
• generate fake data for graphql queries from an sdl schema
• extend an existing graphql api with extra faked fields
• spin up a local graphql mock server for frontend development
• test client integrations against realistic fake graphql responses

When to choose

• you need a graphql mock server quickly without writing code
• you want to prototype an api design in sdl with realistic data
• you need to mix real upstream graphql data with mocked fields

When to avoid

• you need deterministic or stateful mock behavior with custom resolvers
• your mocks must run in CI without a node runtime and you prefer a library
• you need mocking for REST or gRPC rather than graphql
