I Built an OpenAI API Mock for Devs on a Budget
Hey, fellow devs!
Ever been working on a project, eager to test your OpenAI integration, only to be held back by the dreaded API call limits?
Well, I’ve got a practical solution for you: a budget-friendly way to mock your OpenAI API responses during development.
🧙♂️ Introducing OpenAI API Mock
Say hello to openai-api-mock, a Node.js module that allows you to test your OpenAI integrations without worrying about unnecessary API charges during development. It's designed to make your development environment smooth and efficient, letting you mock responses with ease.
🌟 Why Did I Create This Module?
Picture this: you're knee-deep in developing a project, excited to test your OpenAI integration. However, you hit a roadblock – the dreaded API call limits.
Here's the twist – I needed a way to mock API responses, especially when dealing with function-calling structured responses & API costs can spiral during development and testing phases, and I yearned for a tool that could empower developers to experiment freely with OpenAI without the fear of skyrocketing bills. Thus, openai-api-mock was born,
🎩 How to Use It
Step 1: Install the Module
Start by installing this module using npm. Open your terminal and type:
npm install -D openai-api-mock
Step 2: Set Up the Mock Response
In your JavaScript file, conjure the mock response with a simple incantation:
const { mockOpenAIResponse } = require('openai-api-mock');
Now, every time your code attempts to make an OpenAI API call, it will receive a magical mock response. No API call limits, no charges – just pure wizardry at play!
🧐 What's Under the Hood?
This module depends on the powers of nock for intercepting HTTP calls and @faker-js/faker for generating fake data.
It's a dynamic duo ensuring your OpenAI API calls are met with responses.
🚀 Conclusion
With the power of mock responses in your hands, you're ready to take your OpenAI journey to new heights without worrying about the cost. openai-api-mock is here to make your development experience enchanting and budget-friendly.
