Generate Schema and Seeds from existing DB about discuss HOT 3 CLOSED

Thanks for the kind words! 🙂

If you want to add Mirage to an existing workflow piece by piece, I would use the passthrough API: https://miragejs.com/api/classes/server#passthrough. The team can maintain their existing workflow using the dev server and start replacing routes one by one, allowing the rest of the unmocked routes pass through Mirage and hit the existing server.

To fully replace it I would start by working on a section and see what the Mirage definitions end up looking like. If your APIs are consistent enough you should be able to use Mirage's Serializers and Shorthands to end up with a pretty concise definition.

As far as a tool to generate things automatically that feels far off but would be interesting to explore. This is probably more straightforward with GraphQL because it's typed. REST APIs vary so much so there would probably always be some configuration needed. Perhaps a static generated server would be a good starting point, that can then be tweaked later.

What does your API look like? What's an example response? Are you using any specs like json:api?

This is all I needed! Haha, thanks a lot.

FYI: Transferred this to our new Discuss repo, our new home for open-ended conversations about Mirage!
