How Intuit open sourced apollo-mock-http

Rejected

Session Description

It's a bit common that front-end developers struggle for decoupled feature development due to dependency on APIs. There are situations like API is under development, or has high latency, or unavailable etc. With the GraphQL paradigm, the abstraction is so good that it creates an area that feels like the client SDKs somehow magically handles the API queries and returns the data. Developers don't know exactly what is happening internally and where exactly the data is getting in. It feels like a magic box and developers don't have any flexibility to decouple themselves.

If you have faced these pain points, wait no more to resolve all these problems, with our open source library “apollo-mock-http”! This is a completely declarative, config-driven client-side solution without any overhead of running external servers or learning curve, that seamlessly taps into apollo-client library, and helps with scalable mock data injection - which we have used successfully in multiple projects at Intuit.
