About

MockGQL - GraphQL Request Logger & Mocker

A powerful Chrome DevTools extension for developers working with GraphQL APIs. Intercept, inspect, and mock GraphQL requests directly from your browser.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

KEY FEATURES

• Request Logging
  Automatically captures all GraphQL requests (fetch and XMLHttpRequest) and displays them in a clean, organized list.

• Detailed Inspection
  View the complete details of each request including operation name, type (query/mutation/subscription), query, variables, and response.

• Mock Responses
  Create custom mock rules to return fake responses for specific GraphQL operations. Perfect for testing edge cases, error states, and loading behaviors.

• Individual Rule Control
  Enable or disable individual mock rules with toggles. Keep your mock configurations ready without affecting live requests.

• Response Delay
  Add artificial latency to mocked responses (in milliseconds) to simulate slow network conditions and test loading states.

• Persistent Storage
  Mock rules are saved to your browser and persist across sessions. Set up once, use everywhere.

• Copy Response
  One-click copy of any response to clipboard for easy debugging and mock rule creation.
