Create and use realistic data in a prototype

Use realistic example data to make prototypes credible and easier to test.

Goal

Avoid placeholder lorem ipsum and make your prototype behave like a real service.

Steps

  1. Decide what data matters (names, addresses, reference numbers, etc.).
  2. Create fixtures (JSON or simple constants).
  3. Render the fixtures in the UI.
  4. Add a reset route.
