fetch-mock simplifies mocking fetch requests in JavaScript tests. It intercepts network requests made using the fetch API and allows you to define responses based on URL patterns, headers, or body content. This eliminates the need for real network connections during testing, enabling faster and more reliable unit and integration tests. It offers flexible matching and response options, streamlining the process of simulating API behavior. Ideal for front-end developers writing robust tests.
Fetch-mock's release frequency is highly variable. Initial bursts of activity occurred in 2015-2018, followed by periods of inactivity. A resurgence began in 2019, peaking in 2020, but declined again until mid 2024. Releases happened in June-August of 2024, and January-March, June and August of 2025, but overall, release frequency has decreased significantly in recent years.
Fetch-mock npm package downloads show a general upward trend from March 2024 to August 2025, peaking in July 2025. There's a noticeable dip in December 2024, likely due to holidays. September 2025 data reflects partial-month downloads, but still indicates strong usage.
