Update 3 Objects, Enums, and Colors

We're back with another update! This time, we're introducing some of the most requested features to Mockd: custom objects, object arrays, enums, and color support.

🏗️ Custom Objects (object)

You can now define your own custom types using the types field in your request. This is perfect for when you need a specific structure for your data.

How to use it:

1. Define your custom structure in the types object.
2. Reference your custom type in the fields object using object-[typeName].

POST Body

{
    "types": {
        "User": {
            "id": "uuidv4",
            "name": "male-full-name",
            "email": "email"
        }
    },
    "fields": {
        "admin": "object-[User]"
    }
}

🗃️ Object Arrays (object-array)

Need a list of those custom objects? object-array has you covered. It works just like the array type but for your custom defined types.

How to use it:

Reference your custom type using object-array-[typeName(size)].

POST Body

{
    "types": {
        "Product": {
            "sku": "mask-[AAA-####]",
            "price": "money"
        }
    },
    "fields": {
        "inventory": "object-array-[Product(3)]"
    }
}

🔢 Enums (enum)

The enum type allows you to provide a list of specific values, and Mockd will randomly select one for you.

How to use it:

Provide a comma-separated list of values inside square brackets: enum-[value1,value2,value3].

POST Body

{
    "fields": {
        "status": "enum-[pending,active,completed,cancelled]"
    }
}

🎨 Color (color-hex)

Adding some visual flair to your mocks? The color-hex type generates a random hexadecimal color string.

How to use it:

Simply use color-hex as the field type.

POST Body

{
    "fields": {
        "primaryColor": "color-hex"
    }
}

We hope these new types help you build even better things with Mockd! As always, if you have any feedback or feature requests, feel free to reach out.
