Tests with fake API on CI about janephp HOT 5 CLOSED

This issue has been fixed since #412 has been merged. (I actually don't understand why github didn't closed this issue since it was linked 🤔)

Does this tool act with interceptor more Mocking concept like nock : you define your own response ?

It will intercept an HTTPS GET request to /repos/atom/atom/license, reply with a status 200, and the body will contain a (partial) response in JSON we given.

I think about the network layer, if your fake API go down. In other word, fake API live on a Network layer, with real response but depends this Network layer.

I read more here about the realistic side between local vs networking fake API :https://stoplight.io/mock-api-guide/basics/

Actually https://github.com/typicode/json-server does run a "real" API, my idea here was to make a "big" API for each component that regroup everything we should test. It is not mandatory to test everything, but some stuff like Authentication should be tested for example ~

Another solution would be https://github.com/stoplightio/prism (thanks @damienalexandre for sharing !), it looks really awesome !

I think this is a great idea. I usually add a middleware that returns mock responses that are generated using the serializer. An example: https://github.com/apigee/apigee-mock-client-php
