PHP Dummy Server: Simulate APIs for Easy Testing
================================================

[](#php-dummy-server-simulate-apis-for-easy-testing)

The PHP Dummy Server is a library that allows you to create a mock server environment for testing applications that rely on external APIs or services. It simplifies testing by enabling you to define various responses (success, failure) and isolate your application from external dependencies.

Benefits:
---------

[](#benefits)

Reliable Tests: Ensures tests fail only due to genuine bugs in your code, not external factors. Flexible Responses: Simulate different API responses (success, errors) for various test scenarios. Decoupled Development: Start development on your application even before the actual service is available. Isolated Teams: Allows development teams to work independently even if the real service is unstable. Simplified Debugging: Isolate issues during deployment and debugging by simulating specific services locally.

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

### Installation

[](#installation)

Install the library using Composer:

```
composer require alirezamires/php-dummy-server --dev
```

### Configuration

[](#configuration)
