When the api is ready, update the app to consume data from the server
The problem I face after the the implementation to consume data from the server, I usually become dependent with the api. For example, I need to ask api dev to create user with specific role for example, or asking qa team to create certain data (sometimes I don’t really understand how to work with the dashboard), etc.
I could use fake data by commenting some lines and then create the object I need, after that I remove the hardcoded lines and call the api to get real data. But, I think it’s not ideal, especially when the data I need depend on other data. There must be a better way of doing it. Could help with a solution with this problem?
Hi @lobothijau,
You are on the right track with the strategy you use. You could also consider using tools like a mock server or running a simple Flask/express/Vapor service that returns data to you instead of hardcoded data.
I am not sure I understand your question well,
But, I think it’s not ideal, especially when the data I need depend on other data. There must be a better way of doing it.
What I mean is that when I need an object, sometimes I need to make other object. If the other object are too many, thatn I need to write more hardcoded values. I read about mockwebserver, but it seems only for testing.
Creating a mock server with express seems like a better solution, because sometimes we need to change app implementation but the api is not ready yet.
