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

See Local Build 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.
