Extension summary
Mocking your API responses like a pro. Parrot allows you to mock any asynchronous API call you want. It does this by patching both Fetch and XMLHttpRequest in such way that the actual call will always be done, but the response will be substituted by the mock data you specified.
๐ก When to use this extension?
๐ธ You are developing a front end that needs to connect to some back end API, but that back end API has not yet been developed or is down.
๐ธ You want to give a live demo but the back end API needed is currently not available or broken.
๐ธ You would not only like to test the happy flow, but would also like to see how your front end behaves given any possible alternate scenario or edge case.
๐ธ You are experiencing a nasty bug but have no way of reproducing it easily using the real back end system. You would like to tweak the response to check if any unexpected response could be the cause of your issue.
๐ก How to use this extension?
Start by just pressing the Add button to define a mocked response for a specific request. A line will show up on which you can define the HTTP verb/method and the URL-fragment of the request you would like to be mocked. The URL fragment is defined with a regular expression, allowing you to make any matching requirement as loose or strict as you would like it to be.
