Mock Back-end

Overview

Metronic Angular use a mock back-end for demo purpose. It's called in-memory web api for Angular demos and tests that emulates CRUD operations over a RESTy API.

It intercepts Angular Http and HttpClient requests that would otherwise go to the remote server and redirects them to an in-memory data store that you control.
