That's cool! We're thinking about adding an API in the future. What kinds of things are you using mockaroo for?

- berkes 4y agoThree things: To provide relevant data for a acceptance (manual) testing environment. Avoid using production data there. To create (temp) mock web APIs in a database, so frontend and clients can start development while the backend builds the actual business logic. To fill a database in development with which a dev can build the UI and views. This uses the same data files and pipeline as the first. For this, I basically just download and transform one or more CSVs and or JSON files. And commit them as part of the software. The official import pipeline of a backend can ingest those in e.g. a CI or with local scripts. Basically just a ./fixtures/members.csv, jobs.csv, vacancies.csv etc.
