Combine rate limiting with mocks<\/h2>\n
Starting from this version, you can configure Dev Proxy to combine rate limiting with mock responses. This means, that when testing how your app handles rate limiting, you won\u2019t be calling your API and incurring unnecessary load. This combination is invaluable to verify if your rate limiting code is working as expected.<\/p>\n

You can for example generate an API client or even easily build an AI plugin. But what if you don\u2019t have an OpenAPI spec? Do you need to create it manually yourself?<\/p>\n Dev Proxy now allows you to generate an OpenAPI spec based on the requests intercepted by the proxy. All you need to do is to start your app, have it call your API, and Dev Proxy will generate an OpenAPI spec for you from the requests it intercepted!<\/p>\n Learn more about generating OpenAPI specs using Dev Proxy<\/a>.<\/p>\n When building apps, you often interact with backend APIs. Sometimes, these APIs aren’t yet available, or other teams are updating them to meet the latest requirements. To avoid waiting, you typically create a mock API that returns the data you need. While this approach unblocks you, it requires you to spend time on building an API that you eventually replace with the real one. To avoid wasting time, you can now use Dev Proxy to simulate a CRUD API and speed up development. All you need is a data set that you want to expose as an API and let Dev Proxy do the rest!<\/p>\n Learn more about simulating CRUD APIs with Dev Proxy<\/a>.<\/p>\n Enabling the proxy on macOS just got simpler! We’ve streamlined the setup process to minimize manual steps and make it as effortless as possible. Now, starting the proxy on macOS automatically registers it as a system-wide proxy, giving you a seamless experience just like on Windows. Additionally, when you start Dev Proxy for the first time, it prompts you to trust its certificate eliminating cumbersome manual steps!<\/p>\n We regularly publish Dev Proxy presets which configure proxy for specific use cases. You can find them in the samples gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n To make it easier for you to use these presets, you can now use the devproxy preset get<\/strong> command, to download and unzip the preset. All you need is the preset ID which you find on the preset\u2019s page in the sample gallery.<\/p>\n We hope that you find presets helpful and if you\u2019ve got your own presets that you\u2019d like to share with others, submit them to the gallery<\/a>!<\/p>\n We\u2019ve slightly changed the shape of mocks that we use in Dev Proxy. As we extend Dev Proxy with new features, we realized that we haven\u2019t been consistent in how we represent a mock request. What\u2019s more, we found out that our structure didn\u2019t properly support specifying multiple response headers with the same name.<\/p>\n The new structure defines a request and response object and a collection of header objects.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve already updated all samples in the sample gallery to reflect this new structure. If you have your own mocks, you can convert them to the new format using a script<\/a>.<\/p>\n Dev Proxy and its plugins use JSON files to define their configuration. To help you ensure that you\u2019ve correctly set up these configuration files, we introduce JSON schema files for Dev Proxy configuration<\/a>, and its plugins<\/a>. We\u2019ll be versioning these schemas using SemVer so that you can easily tell when they introduce breaking changes.<\/p>\n Recently, we\u2019ve published our new docs on Microsoft Learn<\/a>. We\u2019ve included the reference content we had on our GitHub Wiki and extended it with additional conceptual docs, all to help you build more robust apps and get more out of Dev Proxy. Check them out and let us know how we can make them better.<\/p>\n New Dev Proxy docs on Microsoft Learn<\/em><\/p>\n That’s not all! This release also includes various performance enhancements, stability improvements, and behind-the-scenes optimizations, ensuring that your experience with the Dev Proxy is smoother and more enjoyable than ever before.
