What is liongard-mock?

Liongard Mock is a tool that creates a stand-in for the real Liongard API. Liongard is a platform used by IT service providers, and its API lets other software pull data from it. But connecting directly to a live Liongard account during development is risky and slow. This project solves that by generating a local test server that behaves like the real thing, so developers can build and test their integrations safely. To set it up, you run a single command that points the tool at a file describing the real Liongard API's structure. The server reads that file, generates sample data, and starts listening for requests on your local machine. It can even handle dynamic values, so if you ask for details about "Environment 123," it plugs that number directly into the response. You can edit the generated sample data files to simulate different situations, and the server picks up your changes immediately without needing a restart. This is mainly for developers or QA teams building software that needs to talk to Liongard. For example, if you are a founder building a dashboard that pulls in client IT metrics, your team would use this mock to test the connection locally before launching. It removes the need to hit the real service, meaning you will not accidentally change live data or get blocked by authentication requirements. The project is built as a lightweight proof of concept. It intentionally skips real authentication and rate limiting to stay simple. The README doesn't go into detail on its broader architecture, but it is designed for quick, local testing rather than serving as a full production environment.
