Tools & Open Source
Check out this new tool that lets you quickly build schemas and test on an online playground! Experiment, mock, and share your GraphQL APIs all from your browser. An extra feature that Schemattic provides is a bunch of directives like "fakeEmail" or "fakeName" that produce fake but meaningful data in the response. Each API that you create there gets a unique URL that you can easily share with your team to use it or for example to build a UI prototype with it.
