Testing & the mock API

Inka content is authored as Markdown and served locally through a mock API, so you can preview and test a whole site without a running backend. The block Examples and the frontend Quick Start are real, testable content that runs the same way — a smoke test that every block still renders.

Previewing and Testing Content

Preview content locally by serving the Markdown through the mock API, and check it with the block sanity test — which discovers every block on the served content and verifies it renders across frontends.

Content as Markdown

Author Plone block content as readable Markdown. One loader turns a .md file into block JSON, so the same file is the content the API serves, the deploy ships, and the docs render — with no JSON to hand-edit.
