Is there a local server of Algolia for offline testing?

[developers]

Hello!

I wonder if there's a local server for Algolia, so that I can test my Rails app locally.

Right now my Rails app connects to Algolia; it's not really a good way to develop a Rails app.

Thank you!

There is no mock server version of Algolia today.

What I would suggest is to create a mock component that returns predictable responses and load that in your dev/test environment instead of the actual Algolia client.

You could also use something like the vcr gem to mock at the HTTP level.
