mock-n-serve

• when you're setting up the frontend the main task is to setup api call function that connects with backend for the api call. This tasks sometimes gives you errors like CORS, cookie problems etc. With simply changing the baseurl of your API call setup you can test whether your api call is reaching to the backend properly or not.

i.e.

const baseUrl = 'https://mock-n-serve.onrender.com';
// const baseUrl = 'https://example.com';

const urlToSetCookie = baseUrl + '/set-cookie?name=token&value=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJuYW1lIjoiSGFyc2giLCJpYXQiOjE1MTYyMzkwMjJ9.nluS3DGKes2Le9eT7sdLpvOOeB9IZ7JVqXOd7rU7jPE';
await fetch(urlToSetCookie);

const apiUrl = baseUrl + '/users?clientType=WEB';

const response = await fetch(apiUrl,{
  method: "POST",
  mode: "cors",
  credentials: "include",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Response-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    name: "Harsh"
  })
});

Response object:
