# MockAPI

Create a REST API from a JSON file. Perfect for frontend development, testing, prototyping.

## Installation

```bash
npm install -g @lxgicstudios/mockapi
```

## Quick Start

```bash
# Create example db.json
npx @lxgicstudios/mockapi --init

# Start server
npx @lxgicstudios/mockapi db.json
```

## Data File Format

Create `db.json`:
```json
{
  "users": [
    { "id": 1, "name": "Alice", "email": "[email protected]" },
    { "id": 2, "name": "Bob", "email": "[email protected]" }
  ],
  "posts": [
    { "id": 1, "title": "Hello", "body": "Content", "userId": 1 }
  ]
}
```

## Generated Routes

For each resource (users, posts):

| Method | Route | Description |

| GET | /users/:id | Get by id |
| POST | /users | Create |
| PUT | /users/:id | Replace |

# Sort
GET /users?_sort=name&_order=asc
```

## Options

| Option | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `-p, --port` | Port (default: 3001) |
| `-d, --delay` | Response delay in ms |
| `-w, --watch` | Watch file for changes |
| `-r, --readonly` | Disable mutations |
| `--init` | Create example db.json |

## Common Use Cases

**Frontend development:**
```bash
npx @lxgicstudios/mockapi db.json --watch
```

**Demo with delay:**
```bash
npx @lxgicstudios/mockapi db.json --delay 500
```

**Read-only API:**
```bash
npx @lxgicstudios/mockapi db.json --readonly
```

## Features

Included

Manage server state in React with TanStack Query v5. Set up queries with useQuery, mutations with useMutation, configure QueryClient caching strategies, implement optimistic updates, and handle infinite scroll with useInfiniteQuery. Use when: setting up data fetching in React projects, migrating from v4 to v5, or fixing object syntax required errors, query callbacks removed issues, cacheTime renamed to gcTime, isPending vs isLoading confusion, keepPreviousData removed problems.
