Mirage JS tutorial: Mocking APIs in React

Mirage JS is a JavaScript library designed to facilitate the development of frontend applications by enabling API mocking, thereby allowing developers to build and test applications without relying on live backend data. This tutorial demonstrates how to set up a mock API using Mirage JS within a notes application created with Create React App. The process involves installing Mirage JS, configuring a mock server with routes for CRUD operations, and setting up a simple frontend to interact with these mock APIs. Mirage JS stands out due to its ability to recreate dynamic scenarios, unlike other static mock API servers, and it provides features such as handling HTTP requests, managing data with models, and formatting responses with serializers. The tutorial also guides through persisting and seeding data, creating routes, and building a frontend interface, offering a comprehensive introduction to using Mirage JS for efficient frontend development.
