Fold Server – The Smart Way to Mock APIs for Integration Testing

πŸš€ 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.

βœ… With Fold Server, You Can:

  • ⚑ Auto-generate mock APIs from real production or staging data
  • πŸ“ Store all your mock responses in a folder β€” no code changes needed
  • πŸ” Configure test users and simulate authentication scenarios
  • πŸ”„ Sync mocks with real environments using fold -record
  • πŸ€– Remove or mock sensitive data: PII and credentials.
  • πŸ”§ Run locally from a single binary β€” no install mess. Integrate easily into CI/CD (via [GitHub Actions] or containers)
Fold Server Flow

πŸ” How It Works:

  1. Write your tests as usual, without hardcoded mocks.
  2. Use fold -record to capture real API responses. All responses are saved with sensitive information striped out or mocked.
  3. Drop the response files into a folder β€” Fold turns it into a running API server.
  4. Add test users and authentication to simulate real security flows.
  5. Run the server locally or in CI/CD β€” everywhere your tests live.[Example workflow][Example runs]
