Mock Gateway
The mock gateway and mock components, located in backend/mock
allow testing and development of features without relying on dependencies such as third-party providers. This is especially useful for fine-tuning the UI or demoing features that include destructive capabilities.
Services
In order for a component to be used in the mock server, there must be a corresponding mock implementation.
Mock services can be found in backend/mock/service
.
Gateway
The mock gateway consumes a regular Clutch backend config with mock components registered instead of the real components. See backend/mock/gateway.go
.
This is most commonly done in the form of mocked services since all external dependencies are generally hidden behind services.
It's also possible to run with a mix of real and mocked components by including both in the list of components passed to the gateway's Run
function.
Requirements
Running the Mock Gateway
make dev-mock
will compile and start the mock server on localhost:8080
and a hot-reloading frontend on localhost:3000
.
