Mock Data

Users can now manually override DataHub variables using mock JSON data, directly from the DataHub. This ability allows configuring and testing step responses even before a workflow is synced, specifically within Code Runner and Formatter steps.

How It Works

• Locate a Code Runner or Formatter step in the DataHub.
• Click the mock data icon next to the step response.
• A popup will appear allowing you to edit and input mock JSON data.
• The provided mock data will:
• override the existing response for that step.
• be used as the response for downstream mapping or logic.
• be replaced automatically when the workflow is synced and a realtime response is generated.

Use Case

This is particularly useful for:

• Testing workflows before real data is available
• Manually configuring mappings when building new flows
• Debugging formatters or custom logic using controlled input

Example

Mock JSON data:

{
  "orderId": "12345",
  "status": "PENDING",
  "customer": {
    "id": "9876",
    "email": "test@example.com"
  }
}

This input will be treated as the step response for downstream mapping or transformation logic.
