A fake REST and GraphQL API, from one file in your repo.

How it works

Two steps, no backend.

# Mockend configuration file
key: SECRET_KEY # Secure your API (optional)
models:
  User:
    fake: # 100+ random generators
      _count: 50 # Generate 50 users
      name: fullName
      online: bool
      picture: { imageUrl: [ 48, 48 ] }

    data: # Use your own data
      [ { name: 'Alice' } ]

    hasMany: [Post, Comment] # Relations to other models

{
  "id": 1,
  "name": "Alice",
  "online": true,
  "picture": "https://picsum.photos/48/48"
}

Features

What you get

Realistic data

Names, emails, dates, images, addresses and more, generated from a one-line description. Or paste your own JSON.

REST and GraphQL

Every model gets CRUD routes, filters, pagination and sorting, plus a GraphQL endpoint with an explorer.

Relations

Declare hasMany and belongsTo once and query nested resources like a real API.

Private when you need it

Protect an API with a key so it stays hidden from the rest of the internet. Mockend only reads your config file, never your code.

Immutable by default

Writes are accepted but never persisted, so demos, docs and tests always start from the same dataset. Nothing to reset.

Lives in your repo

The API is a file, versioned with the code and reviewed in pull requests. Branches get their own API.
