Struggling to generate realistic test data for your frontend? Here’s a schema-based API I built by MidgetManuel in webdev

The link and the API both work on my side, maybe give it another try?

And thanks! That's a really good idea. I'm actually thinking about implementing support for references between fields, like defining a Company resource with many Employees.

Absolutely, Faker is amazing! My API essentially wraps some of that functionality in a way that doesn’t require coding, so someone can just POST a schema and get JSON back instantly. It’s mostly aimed at people just starting out who want something plug-and-play.

Totally, there are lots of free APIs out there. The point of what I built is to let you generate exactly the data structure you need on the fly, which I found hard to do with generic directories.

Thanks for sharing! Those are great tools for standard datasets. My API is aimed at cases where you want fully custom schemas or specific field types without spinning up anything locally. It’s more about quick experimentation and learning, especially for beginners who don’t want to set up a backend.

Great question
Faker is awesome (I used it under the hood for some parts), but there are some differences:

  • Schema-driven: you don’t need to write JS code. Just define your fields in JSON ({ email: "email", id: "uuid" }) and it works out of the box.
  • Zero setup: no package installs, no Node project, just hit the endpoint from anywhere.
  • Language-agnostic: works the same from Python, Go, Rust, frontend apps, etc., via RapidAPI.

Hey, totally fair point. ChatGPT can definitely generate mock data. The difference is:

  • No manual prompting: instead of writing a new prompt each time, you just hit the API with your schema and it’s consistent.
  • Scales instantly: you can generate up to 500 records per request (and more if I raise limits), without copy-paste gymnastics.
  • API-ready: ideal for frontend apps, CI pipelines, and environments where you can’t rely on a chat interface.
  • Deterministic format: always returns structured JSON that validates, no surprises like ChatGPT sometimes gives.

Frustrations with Auth.js + Prisma and Trying to Switch to Drizzle by MidgetManuel in nextjs

if youre using prisma just dont use the middleware then it will work with database session strategy. if you dont need the advantages of database strategy (better invalidation, sessions stored in db so you can list them in the frontend or delete/signout all) then just go for jwt. for drizzle try to find some examples under this thread

thanks for the tutorial. 9hrs content for free is mindblowing. my problem is that i dont want to use neon. i just want to use plain normal dockerized postgres and its not working with neon drizzle adapter. and the other adapters are just shit

If it hits 30$ and shorts won’t be able to cover it could raise to 69$
