Fold Server β The Smart Way to Mock APIs for Integration Testing
π Make Frontend and App Integration Testing Smarter β Not Harder
Tired of manually mocking API responses in your tests? Writing and updating fake responses is not only tedious β it often leads to mismatches between your tests and the real API.
Fold Server changes the game.
β
With Fold Server, You Can:
- β‘ Auto-generate mock APIs from real production or staging data
- π Store all your mock responses in a folder β no code changes needed
- π Configure test users and simulate authentication scenarios
- π Sync mocks with real environments using
fold -record
- π€ Remove or mock sensitive data: PII and credentials.
- π§ Run locally from a single binary β no install mess. Integrate easily into CI/CD (via [GitHub Actions] or containers)
π How It Works:
- Write your tests as usual, without hardcoded mocks.
- Use
fold -record
to capture real API responses. All responses are saved with sensitive information striped out or mocked. - Drop the response files into a folder β Fold turns it into a running API server.
- Add test users and authentication to simulate real security flows.
- Run the server locally or in CI/CD β everywhere your tests live.[Example workflow][Example runs]
π§ͺ Stop Hand-Writing Mocks. Start Shipping with Confidence.
Fold Server lets you test like youβre in production β without touching real systems.
