How I Started Mocking My GraphQL Schema
summary
An open-source module takes a GraphQL SDL schema, builds a minimal object model, and generates mock data for every field while allowing custom mocks keyed by type. It uses a cache to handle recursive types (cutting mock generation from ~83,000 ms to ~50 ms) and includes tools for deployment (Now), assertions (Chai), Artillery-based load testing, plus utilities: a query tester, mock generator, and load-test helper.
