A cli tool to generate random mock data from OpenAPI descriptions for msw.
We already have all the type definitions from OpenAPI spec so hand-writing every response resolver is completely unnecessary.
Since v0.19.0, msw-auto-mock support using generative AI to generate the mock data instead of fakerjs. To enable this feature, you need to setup the related config in your package.json
:
{
"msw-auto-mock": {
"ai": {
"enable": true,
"provider": "openai",
"openai": {
"apiKey": "process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY",
}
}
}
}
Currently, only openai
, azure
, anthropic
are supported. The Configuration is like below:
interface Config {
ai?: {
enable?: boolean;
provider: 'openai' | 'azure' | 'anthropic';
openai?: {
baseURL?: string;
apiKey?: string;
model?: string;
};
azure?: {
apiKey?: string;
resource?: string;
deployment?: string;
};
anthropic?: {
apiKey?: string;
model?: string;
};
};
};
Important
For security issue, it is recommended to put your api keys in the .env
files, and only leave the env key in the settings, for example if you are using vite, the setting should be "apiKey": "import.meta.env.VITE_OPENAI_API_KEY"
since this is the way how vite loaded env variables, for Next.js, you could just use "apiKey": "process.env.PUBLIC_OPENAI_API_KEY"
. If you want to use plain value in the setting, make sure they are quoted like "model": "'gpt-4o'"
This tool also requires @faker-js/faker >= 8 and msw >= 2.
Install:
yarn add msw-auto-mock @faker-js/faker -D
Read from your OpenAPI descriptions and output generated code:
# can be http url or a file path on your machine, support both yaml and json.
npx msw-auto-mock http://your_openapi.json -o ./mock
Integrate with msw, see Mock Service Worker's doc for more detail:
# Install msw
yarn add msw --dev
# Init service worker
npx msw init public/ --save
Then import those mock definitions in you app entry:
import { worker } from './mock/browser.js';
await worker.start();
For conditional mocking:
async function enableMocking() {
if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'development') {
return
}
const { worker } = await import('./mock/browser');
// `worker.start()` returns a Promise that resolves
// once the Service Worker is up and ready to intercept requests.
return worker.start();
}
function mountApp() {
const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('root'));
root.render(<App />);
}
enableMocking().then(mountApp);
For Node.js integration, you can import from your_output/node.js
:
import { worker } from './mock/node.js';
For React Native integration, you can import from your_output/native.js
:
import { worker } from './mock/native.js';
Run you app then you'll see a successful activation message from Mock Service Worker in your browser's console.
