Hello! I'm Sam and I built Mirage JS to be a framework-agnostic API mocking library.

Mirage is extracted it from an addon that's been widely used in the Ember ecosystem for the past 4 years, at companies like Apple, Heroku, Square and Footlocker.

Nearly all frontends need to talk to an API, no matter what framework they're built with! So over the past year I've made Mirage work with any tool or test runner.

I really believe deeply in the frontend-first workflow, and Mirage makes that easier than ever. If it sounds interesting to you, check out the lib + let me know what you think!

Phenomenal landing page. The first text I read is a ~10-word description of the value proposition. The next thing my eyes are drawn to is a visual demo. The first thing I can click is a link to use it myself. Plus, it's all visually very appealing without being distracting. Well done.

We spent a long time on it so that really means a lot! Thanks for the kind words :)

same. the small demos on the landing page are amazing. for once, i got a lot from a library by not even moving away from the landing page!

Thank you so much for putting this together! When I did Ember.js development, this was one of the features I missed the most when using other JS frameworks.

Thanks for all the hard work, mirage has been a great asset the past years of ember development!

Kudos. Miracle follows the similar philosophy shared also by Ember that i know will be the future of the webdev

No fluff! In 2 sec I knew what it was intended to do. I was ready to go in 6 sec. Excellent work.
