🚀 Mockmate — TypeScript-first mock data generator

Mockmate is a lightweight, TypeScript-first library for generating mock data with a clean and flexible API.

It’s designed for developers who want fast mock generation, strong typing, and zero boilerplate — whether you're prototyping, testing, or building demos.

✨ Why Mockmate?

When working on frontend or backend applications, you often need mock data that is:

predictable
typed
easy to extend
quick to generate

Mockmate focuses on exactly that.

📦 Installation

Mockmate is available on npm:

npm install @mockmate/mockmate
# or
yarn add @mockmate/mockmate
# or
pnpm add @mockmate/mockmate

🧠 Basic usage

Generating mock users is as simple as:

import { mockmate } from '@mockmate/mockmate'

const users = await mockmate({
  category: 'users',
  quantity: 2
})

console.log(users)

🎯 Picking only what you need

You can limit fields using pick:

const users = await mockmate({
  category: 'users',
  quantity: 3,
  pick: ['id', 'name', 'email']
})

🧩 Extending generated data

Add custom fields with extend:

const users = await mockmate({
  category: 'users',
  quantity: 2,
  extend: {
    isActive: () => true,
    createdAt: () => new Date().toISOString()
  }
})

⚠️ Error handling

Mockmate uses custom error classes for predictable error handling:

try {
  await mockmate({ category: 'unknown' })
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error)
}

🧱 TypeScript-first by design

Mockmate is built with TypeScript from the ground up:
full type safety
ESM-ready
clean exports
no magic globals
Your editor knows exactly what you're doing.

🌐 Under the hood

TypeScript
Axios for data fetching
ES Modules
Strict typing
Custom error layer

🧪 What’s next?

This is just the beginning. Planned features include:
More data categories
Custom data sources
Plugin system
Faker-like generators
Better testing utilities

❤️ Open source

Mockmate is open-source and MIT licensed.

⭐ Final thoughts
If you’re tired of overcomplicated mock generators and want something simple, typed, and modern — give Mockmate a try.
Happy coding 👋

Im creating new app that will help to new DevOps developers better understand concepts of DevOps and how it works

So, im a passionate developer based in Lithuania and now im trying to start my own project that will help to others to better understand and use devops/ci-cd/docker instances.

The concept is here! The name is PipeViz that will be visualzing your ideas, schemas, and CI/CD pipelines that they actually are. and of course im creating GitHub,GitLab, Google auth for further implementation.

What could you add to the project? what ideas i could realize that? i know, the design maybe is suck, but im still at the beginning of it!
