Import & Export

Mock Studio provides multiple ways to move data in and out of the extension.

Full Backup (Settings)

Export and import all your data at once from Settings → Data Management.

Export All Data

1. Go to Settings
2. Click "Export Backup"
3. A JSON file is downloaded containing all projects, mocks, folders, environments, and scenarios
4. The filename includes the date: mock_studio_backup_2025-01-15.json

Import Backup

1. Go to Settings
2. Click "Import Backup"
3. Select a previously exported JSON file
4. Warning: This overwrites ALL existing data
5. Confirm the import — the app will reload with the restored data

Factory Reset

Start fresh by deleting all data:

1. Go to Settings → Data Management
2. Click "Reset All"
3. Confirm the permanent deletion
4. All projects, mocks, settings, and history are erased

Project Export/Import

Export and import individual projects without affecting other data.

Export a Project

1. Open the project details
2. Click Export from the actions menu
3. The exported JSON includes:

- Project metadata

- All mocks with variants

- Folders structure

- Environments and variables

- Scenarios with overrides

Import a Project

1. Open a project or the project list
2. Use the Import action
3. Select a project JSON file
4. The project is created with "(Imported)" suffix
5. All internal ID references are remapped automatically

OpenAPI / Swagger Import

Bootstrap mocks from an API specification:

1. Open a project
2. Click Import OpenAPI in the actions menu
3. Paste your OpenAPI specification (JSON or YAML)
4. Mock Studio generates mocks for each endpoint:

- Correct HTTP methods

- URL patterns from path definitions

- Sample response bodies from response schemas

- Appropriate status codes

cURL Integration

In the Mock Editor:

• Import cURL — Paste a cURL command to populate method, URL, and headers
• Copy cURL — Export the mock as a cURL command for sharing or testing

GitHub Sync

Sync project data with a GitHub repository:

1. Configure repository details (owner, repo, branch, path, token)
2. Push — Upload project data to GitHub
3. Pull — Download and overwrite local data from GitHub

Ideal for:

• Team collaboration — Share mock definitions via Git
• Version control — Track changes to mock configurations
• CI/CD integration — Use the same mocks in automated tests
